The student who has not submitted the learning evidences within the established deadline will be considered not presented.
In the event of a justified absence, the student must contact the teacher to determine the evaluation of the activities that he has not delivered and to submit to the re-evaluation.
Students who, having submitted, have not passed the assessment exercises have the right to submit to the re-evaluation on the date fixed by the Faculty.
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 class 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.
