Information technology is integral to all aspects of academic life at The American College of Greece, including teaching and learning, research & creative endeavors, outreach, administration, and student life. The systems and services impact virtually every aspect of campus life and are central to the academic enterprise as well as administrative processes. As the provider of technology and technology services at The American College of Greece, the Information Resources Management (IRM) department is committed to technology innovation consistent with the College’s strategic plan.

Served by IRM, the ACG community includes, faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, and all other individuals and organizations that interact with the College.

More specifically, the following IT services are provided:

  • Computer Labs: the ACG student community benefits from various state-of-the-art student computer labs spread throughout the campus, numbering more than 380 stations.
  • Specialized Labs: a specialized IT Networking Lab, equipped with CISCO equipment is available for networking specialization students or specialized course offerings for the community. The ACG Simulated Trading Room provides a real sense of technological sophistication, bringing financial markets to the students’ fingertips through cutting-edge software and hardware.

  • Administrative support: administrative computing and network services at ACG are provided by the Administrative Computing division of IRM, which ensures safe and secure access to enterprise systems and the campus network.

We are here for one reason — to support ACG’s mission “to offer a distinctive academic ethos rooted in American higher education best practices and integrating American, Greek and European cultures.”

We accomplish this goal by providing the technical resources, services, and support an IT environment that helps ACG work smarter, faster, and safer.
