The program’s balance between academics, cultural education, and social events allowed me to do well in my classes but also to explore a fascinating culture while meeting truly friendly and generous people from all over the world”

Advisors & Faculty
We understand that study abroad advisors and faculty members play a key role in a student’s study abroad experience. To help you support students at your institution, we’ve created a one-stop resource for some of the information you may need throughout the study abroad process.
Accreditation
Deree – The American College of Greece is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). Students earn U.S. academic credits for their coursework at ACG, helping facilitate the transfer of credit back to their home institution.
Application & Nomination
Students attending ACG through a partner university are typically first nominated by their home institution’s Study Abroad Office. Once nominated, students will receive an email from ACG with instructions to begin their study abroad application.
Independent students may apply directly to ACG and do not need a nomination.
As part of the application, students must submit a copy of the photo page of their valid passport and an official transcript demonstrating a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75. Students should work closely with their home institution’s Study Abroad Office throughout the application process, as their institution may have additional requirements or deadlines.
Advisors or students with questions about the application or nomination process may contact [email protected].
Visa
Students traveling on a U.S. passport and attending ACG for a fall or spring semester may be required to obtain a student visa before traveling to Greece. ACG’s Office of International Student Services (ISS) guides students through the visa process; however, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain the appropriate visa prior to arrival in Greece.
Upon acceptance, students will receive a detailed Visa Guide outlining the visa application process, required documentation, and steps they will need to complete. Students should begin the visa process no more than 60 days prior to their arrival in Greece.
Students traveling on a U.S. passport for a summer program do not need a student visa. Visa requirements vary based on citizenship and program length, so students traveling on a non-U.S. passport should review our Student Visa information and consult the appropriate Greek Consulate for requirements specific to their nationality.
Housing
Study abroad students are required to live in ACG Housing, located within walking distance of campus. Standard accommodations include shared bedrooms in fully furnished, self-catered apartments, with grocery stores and other amenities conveniently located nearby.
Housing upgrade options, including single bedrooms or studios, may be available for an additional fee and are subject to availability.
For additional housing information, contact the Office of International Student Services at [email protected].
Course Selection & Registration
ACG offers a broad selection of undergraduate courses across business and economics, arts and humanities, social sciences, communication, science and technology, and other academic disciplines.
Students should review available Course Schedules and Course Syllabi while working closely with their home institution advisor to ensure that proposed ACG courses are approved for transfer toward their degree requirements.
Study abroad students register for courses online through the ACG student portal during the designated registration period. Registration instructions are emailed directly to students prior to registration. We recommend that students identify several backup courses in case their preferred courses are unavailable or filled before they register.
Pre-Departure Preparation
Prior to departure, students are invited to attend a virtual ACG Study Abroad Pre-Departure Orientation. The webinar provides important information about travel and arrival, housing, packing, cell phones and communication, finances, health and safety, living and studying in Greece, and what students can expect during their first days at ACG.
Students receive the webinar date, meeting link, and additional information directly from ACG prior to departure.
Payment
The ACG comprehensive study abroad program fee includes tuition, housing, program fees, and organized excursions within Greece. Program inclusions and fees vary by semester and summer program.
For students attending through an ACG partner university, billing arrangements depend on the agreement between ACG and the home institution. Depending on the partnership arrangement, students may pay tuition directly to ACG, or ACG may invoice the home institution. Students should consult their home institution’s Study Abroad Office for information about their specific billing arrangement.
Independent students pay their program fees directly to ACG.
For current program costs and detailed information about what is included, please see our Tuition & Fees page.
Transcripts
Following completion of the program, official ACG transcripts are sent to the appropriate home institution or designated recipient. Students should ensure that any outstanding financial obligations to ACG have been resolved to avoid delays in transcript processing.
