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

The Hellenic Open University does not admit through the Panhellenic exams; it takes applications for its programmes directly.
