Student's voice

The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) places great importance on the academic participation of students in the decision-making process, as it believes that students should contribute to the enhancement of academic programs and to the improvement of students’ campus life and learning experience.

Feedback on the academic experiences of students is communicated through a student representative in each academic unit, which allows students to raise any concerns over academic issues such as course content, teaching methods, assessment criteria, resources, and feedback, and will also provide testimonials of good practice.

Student representatives will report directly to the head of the concerned academic unit/associate dean and director of the Student Affairs Office, and consequently to the president.

By the beginning of each academic year, a call for candidacy will be sent by email to all students. (dates to be defined in the University’s Academic Calendar).
