The Hellenic American University admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, physical disability, or veteran status to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, physical disability, or veteran status in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
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. |
