In the case of presenting several irregularities, the final grade of the course will be 0.
Reassessment
The student will be entitled to the revaluation of the course if he or she has been evaluated of a set of activities the weight of which equals to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade, considering that:

- It won’t be possible to recover individually those failed practices made in group
- Only practices that have been previously performed and have been suspended can be reassessed
- The recovery must be requested from the responsible teachers in the terms established after communicating the evaluation notes.
The results obtained in the reassessment will be the final score for the part assessed in the reevaluation.
2nd enrolment

Plagiarism
In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of a disciplinary process that could be instructed.
