In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Recovery
In order to do the recovery the student must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities that amounts to at least two-thirds of the total qualification of the course.
Recovery can be done only if the overall grade is between 3.5 and 4.9. Recovery will be done with a final test. The maximum reassessment grade is 5.
