Greek universities keep students on the register long after the standard length of their degree. The census counts them in three bands: within the standard length, up to four semesters past it (six for longer degrees), and more than that.
Entry in 2025
Panhellenic scores run to 20,000, and above it for departments that also set a special exam — drawing for architecture, a foreign language for language departments, music or sport — so those cut-offs aren't comparable with the rest. The figure shown is the score of the last candidate admitted from general upper secondary schools (ΓΕΛ, day) in 2025: a cut-off set by demand that year, not a fixed entry requirement.

Greece reserves a separate quota for foreign nationals who completed secondary school abroad (αλλογενείς-αλλοδαποί), split into EU and non-EU places. They are ranked on their school-leaving grade, out of 20 — not on the Panhellenic exams. Where nobody was admitted through a quota in 2025, there is no lowest grade to show.
