Academic year 2024-2025
GAE’s main mission is to support students from each of the PUC’s Teaching Organic Units (UOE) in the process of academic transition and integration, aiming at a successful adaptation and the promotion of their academic success, development and well-being, namely through responses at the social, psychological, pedagogical and peer level.
With teams made up of social workers, psychologists, students, teachers and a representative of academic services, the GAE operates, in particular, in the following areas of intervention:
– Social support (grants, accommodation, food and health)
– Psychological support (emotional and interpersonal issues, vocational reorientation)
– Pedagogical support (school difficulties, academic issues)
– Peer support (integration support, socialization)
GAE Goals:
– Support students in their psychosocial integration, referring cases to the service with the most appropriate responses to the identified needs. Whenever necessary, SASIPC will establish protocols that facilitate this articulation;
– Promote psychopedagogical support for students;
– Advise and provide opinions to the Management Bodies regarding situations related to student integration;
– Act as an intermediary structure in clarifying and resolving student problems of different nature, namely in cases of cancellation of registration/enrolment in which the academic services, after contacting the applicant, verify that there is a need for GAE intervention to reverse the decision;
– Develop concerted actions between the various elements that make up the GAE with a view to promoting the academic success, development and well-being of PUC students;
– Strengthen the social and humanist component existing throughout the PUC structure.
