STUDENT SERVICES
UniWA defines amenity as something that offers comfort, convenience, and is pleasant. Student services are designed carefully, to improve the quality of life for both incoming and local students.
ACCOMMODATION
The University of West Attica does not provide accommodation to its students. The students are free to select any type of accommodation, according to their preferences. However, we suggest to our exchange students to get in contact with some private dormitories in order to find the best possible solution. Students are advised to use well-known websites in order to avoid any scams.

INCLUSION OFFICER
The inclusion officer aims to promote diversity and inclusion and advocate for equal service provision in the workplace. Assesses inclusivity and equality needs and implements strategies to improve diversity. Aims at creating an environment where difference is embraced and individuals flourish. Equality, diversity and inclusion are about creating inclusive environments and practices where students can be themselves, are valued for their differences, and are supported to work at their best. Inclusion is about making people feel welcome; ensuring that it is safe for them to express who they choose to be; demonstrating their appreciation for the university’s input; working collaboratively. Students spend the majority of their time at university, so it’s critical that they feel safe and respected. Our multilingual inclusion officer is a professional who provides support for people experiencing social, cultural, kinaesthetic, and economic difficulties.

STUDENT ADVOCATE
The Student Advocate was established by Article 55 of National Law 4009/2011 with the aim of mediating between students and teachers or administrative services of the university so as to address maladministration, maintain legality, and safeguard its proper functioning. The Student Advocate is not responsible for examinations or student ratings.
As part of their responsibilities, the student advocate investigates cases of their own accord or upon a student’s request and mediates with the relevant bodies to resolve them. It may ask the university services for any information, document, or other evidence in the case, to examine persons and/or order an expert opinion. If they find that there is no legality in a particular case, maladministration is observed, or the proper functioning of the university is disturbed, they shall notify the professor concerned, the relevant administrative department, and the student submitting the report, and strive to find, by any means, a convenient way to solve the problem. The student advocate may, by his/her act, file a report that s/he considers manifestly indefinite, unfounded, or unsubstantiated, and if s/he considers that any evidence of a disciplinary offense is present, s/he shall forward the case to the competent disciplinary body.
