Engaged student

Découvrez les profils de nos étudiants engagés en 2023-2024 !

Simply obtaining the status is already a recognition for the individual vis-à-vis the Higher Education Institution and its contacts within or outside it. This status highlights their personal investment and assumption of responsibilities, for example, before a future employer.

Guidance by a "citizen engagement coordinator":

The "Engaged Student" is supported by a designated staff member within the department. This privileged contact is available to help and facilitate any useful steps to enable the "Engaged Student" to achieve their goals. They serve as a liaison between the "Engaged Student" and ICHEC, providing administrative and logistical support throughout the year.

Specific modalities regarding teaching activities, assessments, and exams:

The "Engaged Student" may, upon request and to the extent reasonable and feasible, benefit from:

• Adjustments to the organization of teaching activities (e.g., language courses, seminars, AIP);
• Adjustments to the schedule/calendar of assessments (e.g., submission date of a work).

These specific modalities remain subject to organizational possibilities defined by the concerned professors. A request must be submitted, within a reasonable period and no later than November 15 (Q1), by the "Engaged Student" to the "citizen engagement coordinator," who will contact the relevant professor.
