The Admissions Committee evaluates applications and supporting material for admissions and decides upon the acceptance and placement of students at Hellenic American University.

Applicants who are eligible for unconditional admission to the program should meet the following requirements:
- An undergraduate degree from a recognized university with a liberal arts or general education component, or an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution, with at least a B (3.0) grade point average; or, at the discretion of the admissions committee, for those seeking to follow the Translation Track, the Diploma in Translation of the Institute of Linguists, London (UK) will be considered the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree.
- Evidence of English Language proficiency. For those applicants whose native language is not English, the University will accept the following forms of evidence:

Hellenic American University prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, physical disability, or veteran status in its recruitment, admissions, employment, evaluation, and advancement.
The university reserves the right to make inquiries concerning the accuracy of the information provided in the candidate’s application. Decisions on admission are made in good faith on the basis of information provided by the applicant and his/her referees. If the university later discovers that false statements have been made or material information withheld or omitted, it reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission or to terminate registration.
Conditional Admission
The Admissions Committee may decide to defer the decision of admission for some candidates that show exceptional promise of successful completion of the program but do not meet minimum standards for admission, in order to evaluate more accurately the actual potential of the applicant. For these cases, the Admissions Committee has the option of granting conditional admission status to the applicant, until there is sufficient and clear evidence that the student is qualified to enter the program. Conditionally admitted students receive formal admission only if they provide the evidence requested by the Admissions Committee. The requested evidence may be additional letters of recommendation or additional course work. In particular, applicants, who do not meet the minimum GPA requirement for admission, as stated above, and are granted conditional admission status, are typically required to achieve a minimum of a B (3.0) average in the first three terms.
The Admissions Committee specifically informs conditionally admitted students about the time period within which the requirements for unconditional admission must be met.
