The grade of «not assessable» will be applicable only if he has not failed any of the constituent assessment activities, except for participation.
In accordance with UAB regulations, «In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity [copying, plagiarism, impersonation...], 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».
The activities in which irregularities were committed, the participation and the essay may not be recovered.
In order to be eligible for the recovery exam, students must have completed 2/3 of the percentage of the assessment activities and have obtained at least a subject grade of 3.5. The maximum overall grade awarded in this case is 5.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken on site, 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.
