To  approve Financial Accounting II the student have to surpass  the activities (work, exercises and individual global case) and obtain at least a note of 5 points (on 10) to the final exam.

A student is considered "Not evaluable" in the subject when there is no evidence of evaluation.  In this subject it will be considered non-evaluable when you have not participated in any of the evaluation activities. Therefore, it is considered that a student who completes any component of continuous evaluation can no longer qualify for a "Not evaluable".

"This subject/module does not offer the option for comprehensive evaluation."

Calendar of evaluation activities

The dates of the evaluation activities (midterm exams, exercises in the classroom, assignments, ...) will be announced well in advance during the semester.

"The dates of evaluation activities cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation activity cannot be carried out. In this case, the degree coordinator will contact both the teaching staff and the affected student, and a new date will be scheduled within the same academic period to make up for the missed evaluation activity."
