Student support service
The Student support service, aimed at both future students and students, is formed by the tutors / coordinators of the studies and aims to assess and guide the students during the entire training period through interviews and personalized attention tailored to the circumstances, needs and characteristics of each student.
Before any doubt, question or consultation on the academic-administrative functioning of the center, the student can request an interview with his tutor / coordinator. In case of not being able to attend or solve the problem, the case will be referred to the Head of Studies, who has the power to raise it before the competent organizations established by the School’s Internal Regulations.

Student representation
ESCAC students, with the aim of looking after their interests and as stated in its Internal Regulations, are duly represented within the following four bodies:
- The ESCAC Academic Board
- The Student Assembly
- The Disciplinary Committee
- The Quality Commission
The competences, attributions and functions of these can also be consulted in the Internal Regulations and under the supervision of the Quality Commission of the Centre.
Quality management
We provide students with various tools for quality control of the education they receive.
Students participate in the quality control of the centre through opinion surveys on the satisfaction with the teaching work, as well as with the degree itself. The course coordinators are in charge of monitoring the development of these surveys, and they transfer the documentation obtained to the Academic Secretary’s Office, who tabulates the results and transfers them to the Head of Studies, who issues a report, which is submitted to the Academic Board and the Quality Committee of the centre.
In both bodies, the student body is duly represented by four freely and democratically elected members.
