With regard to each of the subjects in which he or she were to be enrolled, in each academic year, the student concerned will have available to him or her a maximum of two exam sittings as convened:

• In February and in September, the latter in terms of resits, for those subjects the teaching of which would have been carried out during the first semester.
• In June and in September, the latter in terms of resits, for those subjects the teaching of which would have been carried out during the second semester.

Overall, the student concerned will have available to him or her four examination sittings as convened in order to pass each of the subjects which form part of the Study Plan.

The level of learning achieved by students in each of the subjects within the Study Plan, will be expressed in the form of numerical scores in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, dated September 5, the assigning of an alphabetically based grade together with its equivalent numerical score being compulsory.

The mention of 'With Distinction' will be awarded to those students who would have achieved a score of 9 or higher. The total number of these 'With Distinction' mentions will not exceed five per cent of the students enrolled in a subject in the academic year concerned, except when the number of students enrolled is less than 20, in which case only one 'With Distinction' mention may be granted.

Those subjects which are weighted in terms of aptitude, Apt / Not Apt, will not affect the overall average grade on file.

If a specific Study Plan allows for the inclusion of free-ranging subjects, they will always be graded in terms of an aptitude-based system.

Attendance

The Studies themselves are class-attendance based, unless otherwise stated, and attendance at sessions is compulsory. The Director of each Study Area will make provision for the adequate control of class attendance with the aim of assessing the extent of the compliance with it.

Under no circumstances will Official Grades Records be signed by Assistants, Collaborators, or Research Fellows, even though they may have participated in the teaching of the subject concerned.

In the exceptional case of the Subject Coordinator being unable to sign the Official Grades Record concerned, the person responsible for the signing of it will be the Director of Studies.

• The Initiation of Access to Official Grades Records: The Vice Principal's Office for Postgraduate Studies and Research will generate the initiation of access to the Official Grades Records and provide the instructions necessary for their completion by Coordinators and members of the Teaching Staff via the online computer application concerned and the password provided.

No individually based academic certificates may be issued until the corresponding Official Grades Records, in original format, have been filed by the Student Administration Office staff.
