Corona-FAQ AU

What to expect in a student guidance session?

A guidance session may focus on all matters related to your life as a student. The point of departure for the session will be your needs and issues.
During the session we can address different aspects such as rules and regulations, choice of courses, your well-being as a student, etc.
The session is a dialogue between you and the counsellor with the purpose of helping you to clarify your situation and get a better understanding of rules and opportunities. The counsellor will listen, ask questions and give you the correct information, but it is your responsibility to present and actively reflect on your challenges, wishes and dilemmas.

You are always welcome to contact your counsellors. If we cannot help you, we will usually be able to refer you to someone who can.
All counsellors have a duty of confidentiality. This means that we treat all inquiries with strict confidentiality.
Are you contacting us by email, please use your AU email address. The AU mail system is a secured system that gives you the best protection of your personal information.

At Aarhus BSS you meet two types of counsellors; the student counsellors and the student welfare counsellors:

The Student Counsellors

The student counsellors are trained counsellors and students at Aarhus BSS. They can help you, if you have questions regarding, e.g.:

courses
exams
academic regulations
elective courses
credit transfer

how to plan your studies

They can also help to plan your studies, should you have been delayed in your study programme or have received credit transfer due to previous passed courses on other study programmes.
