Students who have not passed the subject/module through continuous assessment may take a final make-up test no later than one week after the final theoretical assessment of the subject on a date and time agreed between the students and the teacher responsible for the subject.

 

The assessment of exchange students will be the same as for the rest of the UAB's own students, the inability to attend practical classes or seminars will be taken into account in each specific case and this fact will not count negatively against the students "out", the teacher, evaluating each situation and specific case, will propose substitute activities, for the rest of the activities where the presence is not essential the exchange student will have to fulfill and pass the periodic assessable activities that will allow him to present in the final written test.

When it is considered that the student has not been able to provide sufficient evaluation evidence in the report, this subject will be recorded as non-evaluable.
