Dear students,
By being admitted to the University of Alicante you join a university community committed to high-quality public further education. This is the moment to lay the training foundations for your future career and obtain the professional skills you need to access the labour market, as one of our objectives is your education which allows you to become a professional and responsible citizen. Consequently, I would like to welcome you personally and on behalf of the institution I represent, an institution with a scientific and academic reputation at the service of society, its raison d’être. A University that has managed to adapt its training offer to the needs of a labour market demanding new skills to ensure our former students’ labour integration. Furthermore, we are aware that investing in knowledge is investing in progress, and the University of Alicante has taken a cross-disciplinary training approach with joint degrees on offer. In addition to adapting our degrees to the labour market, teaching quality, internationalisation, mobility, entrepreneurship and innovation in teaching-learning processes are all inherent to the University of Alicante. Beyond the classroom, we offer a comprehensive education including a complete cultural programme of plastic and performing arts, as well as a UA sports section where you can engage in federated and free sports activities – all of this on one of Europe’s most modern, complete campuses, conceived as a healthy, sustainable and egalitarian environment to enhance the university community’s academic performance and personal projection. The University offers a comfortable, hospitable campus with 24-hour library services all year round, study rooms, an IT network, language courses and an extensive programme of supplementary and lifelong learning activities aimed at further training, specialisation and curriculum updates. Throughout the years we have increased our national and international contacts, and we currently have collaboration agreements on exchanges and internships with institutions, companies and organisations from around the world so that students can apply the knowledge gained. To that end, we also provide career guidance services through the Observatory for Labour Integration and the Career Development Office (GIPE); a service for those needing special support, offered by our Student Support Centre (CAE); and a Student Information Office for all queries regarding academic life. Moreover, you can take part in university life through student representation or several associations. We are aware of the importance of this moment in your life, but we are convinced that the University of Alicante has been a wise choice. I therefore encourage you to play the main role in your education. With your work and our help, there is no doubt that you will achieve your goals. Welcome to your University, the University of Alicante. Manuel Palomar President of the University of Alicante

Equality Unit
Equality Unit The right to equality between women and men has been recognised by the United Nations as a universal legal principle and has been incorporated into the constitutions of democratic countries. However, legal equality, which represents a significant historical achie- vement for women and society in general, has proved inadequate to achieve genuine equality. Society faces the critical challenge of eradicating determined stereotypes and promoting the conditions necessary for equality between women and men to become an effective reality. The incorporation of women into education, and particularly higher education, is a good indication that significant advances have been made towards achieving equality. Nevertheless, various reports on the position of women in universities testify to the persistence of inequalities and imbalances regarding access to academic degrees, career paths and women’s participation in representative bodies. This evidence of inequality indicates that, in addition to addressing the root causes, there is a need to take positive action in order to redress and prevent these inequalities and achieve effective equality. To this end the Organic Law 4/2007 of 12 April, the Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, governing universities, amending provided that universities must have equal units. Through its gender equality plans, this Office designs strategies aimed at the entire university community, with the aim of eliminating any type of discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation in the UA, as well as of promoting the value of gender equality in all the university activities. UA has a Gender Equality Committee, which coordinates participation. The Committee includes Student Council members, so students are represented in this institution too. The Gender Equality Office assumes the prevention and intervention in situations of gender-based and sexual orientation harassment in the university community. Further information can found at the UA web page “Against Gender Violence�. The Equality Unit is located on the ground floor of the Rectory building.

University Courses and Degrees The process of adapting Spanish university teaching to the European Higher Education Area is being implemented progressively from the 2010/2011 academic year at the University of Alicante. The philosophy of the reform is based on: - Facilitating the mobility of students and teaching staff throughout Europe. - Favouring progressive convergence towards a common degree structure. - Favouring the continuation or resumption of courses at the same or a different university. The Spanish Government issued a Royal Decree on 29 October 2007 to regulate university courses (RD 1393/2007), amended by Royal Decrees 861/2010 of 2 July, 99/2011 of 28 January, 534/2013 of 12 July, 96/2014 of 14 February, 967/2014 of 21 November, 43/2015 of 2 February, 420/2015 of 29 May, and 195/2016 of 13 May. DEGREEE MASTER DOCTORATE WORLD OF WORK
The University of Alicante (UA) has also drafted its own regulations for the creation of undergraduate degrees, approved by the Governing Council on 30 June 2008, amended by the UA Governing Council on 29/11/2012 (Official Journal of the University of Alicante of 04/12/2012). Said official university studies consist of 3 cycles: - Undergraduate Degree. - Master’s Degree. - Doctoral Degree.
The different kinds of studies available at the UA can be classified in several ways
026
• According to the qualification awarded upon successful completion: - Official courses with full academic and professional validity throughout Spain. - Own Courses are designed by each university and cannot use the same name as official titles. They are generally specialist qualifications. • According to teaching level and admission requirements, official studies can be classified as: - Undergraduate Degrees. They are designed to give students an overall grounding in one or more subjects and are designed to prepare them for professional activities. Name of studies will be “Undergraduate Degree in (name of degree) from the University of Alicante”, and may include the formula “with specialisation in (name of specialisation)” where applicable. The Degree Supplement will indicate which branch of knowledge the studies are assigned to. The 5 branches of knowledge are as follows: Arts and Humanities, Sciences, Health Science, Social & Legal Sciences and Engineering & Architecture. All study plans will focus on students acquiring the skills necessary to obtain the title. They will consist of 240 ECTS, except for certain degrees regulated by European Directives (Medicine, Architecture, etc.), which have more ECTS. Those 240 ECTS are distributed into four 60-credit academic years (30 credits per semester). Types of registration include Full-time (60 credits that can be: first-time registration or study continuation credits, or 48-72 credits recognised from another undergraduate degree), Part-time (30 first-time registration credits, 24-47 second-time registration credits, and Reduced registration for disabled students (6 to 18 credits) per academic year. Please note that the “part-time student” denomination applies to student’s status within their degree; all individual subjects taken by said students will require full-time dedication. - Master’s Degrees. They are designed to provide students with advanced, specialised or multidisciplinary training focused on academic or professional specialisation, or to encourage their participation in research activities. Name of studies will be “Master’s Degree in (name of master’s degree) from the University of Alicante” and may include the formula “with specialisation in (name of specialisation)” where applicable. Study plans will consist of 60 to 120 ECTS and will last from 1 to 2 years. - Doctoral Programmes. Designed to provide students with advanced training in research techniques, these programmes may include courses, seminars and other activities aimed at training researchers, and lead to the preparation and presentation of the corresponding Doctoral Thesis, an original research work. Name of studies will be University of Alicante Doctoral Programme. UA’s Doctoral Programme is divided into two stages: training and research. Training period may be equivalent to a Master’s Degree. For a few years, both previously existing and new Doctoral Programmes will be held. New programmes are designed as per the regulations issued by the European Higher Education Area. web.ua.es/en/study-at-the-ua.html
The University of Alicante currently offers 45 different undergraduate degree programmes, including four double degrees: Law & Business Administration (DADE), Law & Criminology (DECRIM), and Joint Undergraduate Degree in Tourism and Business Administration (TADE) and Joint Undergraduate Degree in Computer Engineering and Business Administration (I2ADE). and UA’s Own Undergraduate Degree in Commercial Aviation and Air Operations. Also, 54 Master’s Degrees can be studied at our campus, 28 Doctoral Programmes and 116 own postgraduate and specialisation courses (32 Masters, 27 Specialist and 57 Expert). Royal Decree RD 1125/2003 describes EUROPEAN CREDITS, also known as European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) as a European credit system that organises study plans so that they are easier to understand and compare, thus allowing universities to understand each other more easily when it comes to managing academic records of international students. This teaching system is based on student learning, valuing the effort made by students to pass subjects, meaning that it takes into account time spent attending classes, hours spent studying, academic work, seminars, projects and time needed to prepare for and attend exams. The following are the main features of the ECTS: - Based on 60 credits as the workload of full-time students for one academic year. - Workload in Europe is 36 to 40 weeks per academic year; at the University of Alicante, it is 40 weeks. - In Europe, a credit stands for 25-30 hours work; at the University of Alicante, it is 25 hours. Students’ grade point average will be calculated using the following formula: the sum of the credits obtained by the student, each of them multiplied by the value of the corresponding marks and divided by the total number of credits obtained by the student. Credits obtained through recognition of credits that are not integrated in the study plan will neither be rated numerically nor taken into account for the average of the student record. UA graduates must acquire specific knowledge and skills included in UA’s CROSS-SECTIONAL skills curriculum. The cross-sectional skills curriculum consists of the following knowledge and skills that all UA graduates must acquire, regardless of the degree or programme they have chosen: - Foreign Language: minimum accepted level is B1 as per the Common European Framework of Reference for Modern Languages, although B2 is recommended. - Information technologies: included in the different subjects as specific learning results. - Oral and Written Communication: considered to be present in all subjects in each degree and programme.

University Courses and Degrees
Degrees from the old study plan As per the provisions of Royal Decree 861/2010, of 2 July, amending Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, on the planning of official university degrees: Students who started their university education under former regulations will abide by the legislation in force at the time when said education first started, without prejudice to the provisions of additional ruling number two of this Royal Decree and only until 30 September 2015. From this date onwards, said previous regulations will no longer be deemed valid. Notwithstanding this, and without prejudice to the ongoing regulations on continuation of studies, Universities will commit to holding at least four exam sessions in the two academic years subsequent to the above mentioned extinction date.» 1. Students from the former first-cycle and second-cycle undergraduate degrees, as well as students from the former undergraduate degrees in architecture, architectural technology, engineering, and engineering technology must have completed all the subjects in their study programme before 30/09/2017. Should they fail to do so, they will be entitled to join the new undergraduate degrees by carrying out a series of adaptations that can be undertaken any time. 2. Students who meet the requirements to request a compensated pass from former to new undergraduate degrees after having sat four examination sessions can file their requests until 25 September 2017. 3. Students must defend their Final Year Project (if applicable) before 30 September 2017. 4. After that date, no free-elective credit recognition or any other kind of validations will be available. 5. Said deadlines do not apply to degree certificates or any other academic certificates.

On 4 July 2012, the University of Alicante Governing Council decided that: “For degrees regulated by provisions prior to Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, a total of 6 examination sessions will be held up to three years after the degree has been phased out, notwithstanding transitional provision two of Royal Decree 861/2010, of 2 July, amending Royal Decree 1393/2007”. Therefore, in order to allow students of the Dual Undergraduate Degree in Law & Business Administration to enjoy six examination sessions for all subjects and years before 30/09/2017, two additional examination sessions will be held between 2 and 10 May 2017, and between 1 and 5 September 2017. This way, year-6 students will be able to sit a maximum of 4 examination sessions during this academic year. According to UA President’s Decision of 29 September 2015, on the establishment of special end-of-degree regulations applicable to students in first-cycle and second-cycle undergraduate degrees that are being phased out at the University of Alicante, “students at the University of Alicante who have three or less subjects left to pass in order to complete a degree that is currently being phased out may request for the special end of degree regulations set forth in this decision to be applied to them. Under said special regulations, students may only register for each subject once, and sit only one examination session for each subject. The remaining call included in the special end-of-degree regulations for all degrees to be phased out will be held between 10 and 20 September 2017.

Tuition in Catalan, English and other languages Why is it important to study in Catalan, English and other languages? Studying in Catalan gets you ready to enter the labour world and to better fit into the society in which we live. Lessons in Catalan will allow you to reinforce your language competence, that is, to know how to use the language both spoken and written, in any communication situation. Language competence in Catalan will give you access to work, both in the public and private sectors, in the region of Valencia, the Balearics, Andorra and Catalonia. The social context also demands the knowledge of English and other languages. Lessons in English will allow you to have a better command of this language to use it in an academic context and this will give you wider access to the labour market. Studying in English will allow you to: - participate in university exchanges with universities in which English is the working language. - continue to study and do internships. - do research activities and work abroad - Join multilingual teams.
CATALAN AND ENGLISH TUITION OPTIONS UA has both Catalan and English tuition options for some undergraduate degrees. Also, there are several undergraduate courses that are taught in Catalan, English, French and other languages.

Academic work experience University students have the option of gaining both curricular and extracurricular work experience. In the undergraduate and master’s degrees, work experience is established as an integral part of the curriculum, and may be either compulsory or optional. Therefore, students who wish to broaden their education and improve their future employability may register in the corresponding subject as established in their curriculum. To this end, the UA and its centres have entered into cooperation and education agreements with numerous public and private companies and institutions which offer work placements to our students each academic year. Furthermore, students have the possibility of carrying out extracurricular work placements, which are also practical training and and take place under educational cooperation agreements with collaborating institutions, but which, in such cases, are not linked to a subject within the curriculum. These work placements may be carried out through the centre, as long as this possibility is allowed under its regulations, or by participating in programmes with a general call, such as the Aitana - Erasmus Training programme or the Santander - CRUE - CEPYME grant programme. Extracurricular work placements should be managed and carried out in accordance with the regulations applicable to curricular work placements, except in those provisions only applicable to this work placement modality.

FROM UNIVERSITY TO BUSINESS The main objective of the University of Alicante’s Observatory for Labour Integration is to prepare students for the job market and improve their employability, primarily by designing and implementing activities and projects promoting attitudes, self-assessment and the professional and interpersonal cross-disciplinary skills demanded by today’s labour market.
- ACTIVE PARTICIPATION AND NETWORKING The aim of this programme is to promote structural and strategic change through greater coordination between University of Alicante centres and the UA General Foundation. To this end, the Observatory encourages stakeholders to actively participate in its activities, website and social networks. We welcome proposals or requests for new courses and information about events, links or other types of documents.
- SOCIAL NETWORKS AND CONTACT WITH USERS In the field of social networks, the Observatory has consolidated its presence on Facebook and Twitter, which are the main tools that students may use to find practical news related to employment and self-employment inside and outside the UA. We also have an extensive distribution list whose users receive a weekly newsletter, and a new “Private Intranet Area” where students and graduates may register to access and register in all the activities offered, thus streamlining administrative procedures.

The aim of this initiative is to provide future candidates with efficient, flexible, and updated tools on what companies look for when hiring staff. - 100 STUDENTS, 20 COMPANIES In this activity, senior officers (company managers and CEOs) from well-known companies meet university students and graduates. This activity is carried out in the companies’ premises, and it is divided in two parts: first, students and senior officers meet in private; then, a group meeting is held between all the students and the company’s representatives.

University Ombudsperson
University Ombudsperson The University Ombudsperson (Chapter 7 of Title 4 of the UA Statutes) is appointed by the University Senate to ensure that the rights and freedoms of the University community are respected as regards the actions of the different bodies and services of the University. It is not managed by any university body, and it works autonomously and independently on the basis of equality and respect towards confidentiality. Usually, the Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions are triggered by queries, complaints and claims, but it can also act on its own initiative and as a mediator to solve disagreements and conflicts, as long as the parties agree to do so. The University Ombudsperson shall: a) Collect the information necessary to perform his/her duties from the relevant university bodies. For these purposes, all university community members shall collaborate with the Ombudsperson as an urgent priority. b) Request the presence of the authorities of any university body where necessary for the performance of his/her functions. c) Attend meetings of the general decision-making bodies of the University when dealing with any matter relating to Ombudspersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions at the time. To this end, the Ombudsperson should receive a timely copy of the meeting agendas of those bodies. d) Draft any reports that are requested or that the Ombudsperson deems appropriate to issue in connection with his/her actions at the time. e) Propose solutions to the relevant university bodies, as the Ombudsperson deems appropriate, for the settlement of the matters that are brought to his/her attention. Once a year, the University Ombudsperson shall submit a report of his/her activities to the University Senate. In addition, this report shall include recommendations and suggestions for improving university services. All complaints, claims or requests for mediation must be submitted in writing, either in person at the office, by post or by email. In all cases, the name and surname of the complainant must be stated, as well as the identity document number, address, contact telephone number and as clear a description of the complaint as possible, stating the justification for it. It is not necessary to submit these details during consultations. The University Ombudsperson investigates the facts in order to clarify the causes of the claim. He/she then informs the interested parties of the result of the investigations. It is important to underline the fact that the University Ombudsperson is not empowered to impose sanctions or suspend administrative activities. However, he/she is responsible for making suggestions and recommendations for correcting any deficiencies or problems to those immediately responsible for the University services, the highest University authorities, and those involved in the measures that should be taken. The regulations governing the University Ombudspersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities were approved on 3 April 2007 and may be consulted at: www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=587.pdf&c=1 Location: General Lecture Building 2, First Floor.

#ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC AND TEACHING MATTERS
Administrative, Academic and Teaching Matters This section deals with the most common issues involved in academic and administrative procedures. Most of these procedures are regulated by specific norms included in the Academic Regulations Handbook, which may be consulted at: sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/academic-regulations-and-procedures-of-the-university-of-alicante.html The Organic University Law deals with students in Title 8. Article 46 specifically regulates students’ rights and duties. From this section, it is particularly worth highlighting the following: 1. “Studying is a right and a duty for university students.” 2. “The Statutes and organisation and operating regulations (of universities) must develop the rights and duties of students as well as the mechanisms necessary to ensure that they are respected.” Specifically, the University of Alicante Statutes, in Chapter 3 of Title 4, deals with students as part of the university community, and Section 2 in particular defines their duties and rights.
134
Among others, students have a right to: a) Receive an adequate scientific, technical and cultural education. b) Participate in teaching management and programming, as well as in teaching and teachers’ quality control, according to the relevant procedure. c) Receive help during their training through an effective , cross-sectional guidance and monitoring system offered by the degree, which is supplementary to their comprehensive, critical training and prepares them for working life. d) Receive an objective assessment of their academic performance and have the means to challenge this assessment where appropriate, according to the relevant procedure. e) Know in advance the syllabus of the subjects in which they want to register, as well as the examination dates. f) Academic performance assessment based on public, objective criteria for their educational and continuous training, understood as an element in the teaching-learning process.
Timetables, Appointment of Lectures and Examination Calendar
The timetable contains the distribution of subjects over a period of time (four-month terms or a whole year) for each academic year, indicating study year and group, senior lecturers and all other lecturers per subject, as well as examination dates and the classrooms where the subject is to be taught. The periods within which the teaching timetable must be drawn up (generally between April and May of the previous year) are set out in the Academic Calendar and approved by the Governing Council. By designing the timetables within the specified periods, students are able to more easily choose and organise their academic year. The authorities of the centres shall appoint a lecturer who shall be in charge of organising the timetables and examination calendar for each curriculum or course. These timetables shall be approved by the centre board or a board to which this task has been delegated, and are final. Student representatives must be involved in setting the timetables and examination dates. Examination dates may only be changed for justifiable reasons (for example, due to a change in the Spanish university entrance examination dates), and until 15 days before the initially set date. In any case, modifications may only delay the start dates and must be published on the notice boards. If you have any doubts concerning these issues, please go to your centre’s secretary’s office. You may also obtain specific information from the centre’s webpage ( web.ua.es/en/centres-departments-and-institutes.html ) or more generally from the Information Service webpage: web.ua.es/es/oia/horarios-academicos/horario-de-clases-y-calendario-de-examenes.html
· Group allocation and change When degrees have morning and afternoon timetables in which the same subjects are taught, places are divided into two groups in such a way that they both contain a similar number of students. Students with the best entry marks and academic records will be given priority to choose groups based on their timetables and therefore, they are called to submit their registration documents based on their marks. Some centres allow students to request a group change if they have a good reason. There is an application deadline you may consult at your secretary’s office. Generally, circumstances that may justify a group change are the following: a clash with working hours, transport difficulties, federated or university sporting activities, need to take care of a family member, etc.
· Teaching and lecturers The departments are teaching units responsible for coordinating the teaching of their field of knowledge (Article 13 of Chapter 3 of Title 1 of the UA Statutes) Each sub ject taught as part of any degree course is integrated within a department which is responsible for appointing the teaching staff and ensuring that the staff fulfil all their teaching duties. Teaching is a right and a duty of the University’s teaching staff, which shall exercise academic freedom, with no restrictions other than those established in the Constitution and laws, and those derived from the studies planning carried out by the relevant University bodies (Art. 33.2 of Organic University Law and Art. 107 of Section 1 of Chapter 1 of Title 3 of the UA Statutes).

Each semester consists of subjects that add up to 30 credits, 60 credits per academic year. Undergraduate degrees consist of 240 credits (4 academic years, 8 semesters), however the Undergraduate Degree in Principles of Architecture (Architecture in the old study plan) consists of 300 credits (5 academic years). Undergraduate degrees comprise subjects corresponding to: CORE SUBJECTS (BT): Up to a maximum of 60 credits. These are subjects that are common to the undergraduate degrees in the same branch of knowledge. Core subjects are offered in the first half of the curriculum.

Credit Transfer and Recognition
CREDIT RECOGNITION Credit recognition may take place when a student accesses an official undergraduate degree with subjects (credits) already passed in the same or in another official undergraduate degree, or in university degree courses that are being phased out (4-year undergraduate degrees, 3-year undergraduate degrees, etc.). Criteria for credit recognition between undergraduate degrees: • If a student register for an undergraduate degree after having passed several credits in a different beloging to the same field of knowledge, then core subjets that the student has alredy passed will be recognised with their original name, number of credits and mark obtanined. • If a student gains a degree from another branch of knowledge, the basic subjects common to both branches of knowledge will be recognized. • Non-core subjects (i.e. obligatory and optional subjects) will be recognised as per the following criteria: - number of credits must be at least 75% of the number of credits of the subjects whose credit recognition is being requested.
142
- said subjects must include at least 75% of the contents included in the subjects for which credit recognition is being requested. - said subjects must provide students with at least 75% of the knowledge that would be acquired by the student in the subjects for which credit recognition is being requested. • The subjects corresponding to transversal competences or knowledge (in the UA, level of foreign language, competences in new technologies and oral and written expression) will also be recognized. • In any case, credits corresponding to the Degree and Master’s Programmes Final Projects will not be recognized. • It is also possible to request credit recognition in all undergraduate degrees from senior vocational education courses in Artistic Education and university own courses, which overall cannot be higher than 15% of the total amount of credits included in the undergraduate degree’s syllabus. Similarly, proven work and professional experience can only be recognised as credits for obtaining an official title as long as said experience covers at least 75% of the subjects for which credit recognition is being requested.
Criteria for credit recognition between degrees that are being phased out (4-year undergraduate degrees, 3-year undergraduate degrees, etc) and undergraduate degrees. • The “adaptation tables” included in the undergraduate degree information report shall apply when a student converts to the undergraduate degree replacing his/her degree. • In other cases, the subjects passed in degrees that are being phased out shall be recognised depending on the similarity between the content of the subjects taken by the student and those contained in the curriculum of the undergraduate degree which the student has accessed (similarity between subjects). The credits recognised shall retain their original mark, and non-numerical marks, if any, shall be converted to a numerical mark (AP (Pass)=6, G (Very good) =8, SB (Excellent) =9.5). CREDIT TRANSFER When a student accesses an undergraduate degree with subjects already passed in other unfinished official university courses and the subjects are not recognised, then they shall be transferred to his/her new academic record, so that they appear in the academic documents issued, especially in the European Diploma Supplement (EDS). REQUESTS FOR CREDIT RECOGNITION AND TRANSFER Requests for credit recognition and/or transfer are submitted at the secretary’s office of the centre (faculty/university school) in the period laid down by the University for each academic year. Documentation: • Syllabus of each subject, stamped by the centre where it was studied or by the department responsible for teaching it. • Personal Academic Certificate issued by the centre of origin or certified photocopy. Between University of Alicante courses it is enough to submit the academic record, duly stamped by the centre of origin. • Photocopy of the official curriculum publication. The documentation may be simplified when dealing with courses studied at the University of Alicante itself. Requests for credit transfer and recognition shall be dealt with by the centre boards created to do so. UA Regulations.

Regulations: sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/calificaciones/qualifications.html PUBLICATION The marks may be consulted using the application “Academic Record” of the UACloud Virtual Campus. They may also be published on the relevant notice boards in the departments. The regulations dealing with the publication and review of marks must lay down the maximum period between the moment the examinations take place and the results are published. REVIEW Students have the right to ask for their marks to be reviewed, following the specific procedure laid down in the Framework Regulations concerning the assessment and examination procedure and the regulations of the centres (faculties/university schools) which organise them. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/calificaciones/examinations.html With the publication of the marks, the lecturer in charge will provide information concerning the review location and schedule. Interested students must attend the first review. If, having attended the regular review, students continue to disagree with their marks, they may ask for a second review by writing to the management of the department responsible for teaching the subject. The department will issue a report agreeing to the request of the student or maintaining the original mark. If the department does not agree to the request of the student, he/she may write to the management of his/her centre (faculty/ university school). The management of the centre will set up a board consisting of lecturers from the same area of knowledge and related areas to decide on the review request. This decision may be contested by writing to the University President. The University Ombudsperson and the Student Council may advise on these matters.

Summary of the Regulations Concerning Permanence and Continuation of Studies for Students Registered in Undergraduate Degrees at the University of Alicante Approved by the Social Council on 17 May 2017 (BOUA 18/05/17), this regulation is applicable to the degrees offered by the University of Alicante. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/permanencia/permanence-and-continuation-studies-grade.html
· Types of regular registration and number of registration credits There are three kinds of regular registration: A) Full-time registration: at least 48 credits per academic year. Registrations under 48 credits will only be deemed as full-time whenever the student is registering for the last credits left to complete their degree. B) Part-time registration: between 24 and 47 credits per academic year. Students can apply for part-time registration due to personal or academic performance circumstances. C) Special fee for students with functional diversity: aimed at students who need to register for a lower number of credits each year in order to succeed in their studies. Granting of this fee will be subject to the presentation of a report by the Student Support Centre. This fee allows for registration of 6-23 credits.
· Permanence regime and performance requirements in registering for specific courses and/or continuing studies New students (both part-time and full-time) must pass at least 30 credits in two academic years.
148
Students with functional diversity who apply for a special student fee must pass at least 12 credits in two academic years. If students fail to pass the minimum amount of credits within the above-mentioned period, they can file an application for continuation of studies. Should said application be unsuccessful or should students fail to file it within the deadline, they will not be allowed to register for the same degree in the two following academic years. Students will not be allowed to register for new subjects if they do not register for all core subjects that they did not pass in the previous academic years. Registration for the subject “Final Year Undergraduate Project” will only be possible once students have passed at least 168 credits (for 240-credit undergraduate degrees), or 210 credits (for 300-credit undergraduate degrees).
· The number of times students can register in a specific subject Students have a right to register for each subject three times. A fourth registration opportunity will be automatically granted as long as their academic performance, which is calculated on the basis of a “credits passed (except recognised credits)/credits registered” ratio, is over 50%. Only students who have 60 or less ECTS left to finish their degree will be entitled to request a fifth and last examination opportunity from the University of Alicante President. Should students fail this last examination opportunity, they must abandon their studies at the University of Alicante. They will only be re-admitted to the same undergraduate degree in the event that they got said subject(s)’ credits recognised.
· Accreditation of foreign language competences In order to be evaluated in the subject “Final Project” of graduate studies at the University of Alicante, it will be necessary to prove at least level B1 of the Common European Framework for modern languages, although the B2 is recommended. Pursuant to the University of Alicante regulations for internal accreditation of competence in Catalan and foreign languages (BOUA of 27 March 2015), it is modified by an agreement of the Governing Council on 28 September 2015 (BOUA of 2 October) - Valencian language and foreign languages: to complete and pass the subjects listed in Annex 1 to the above-mentioned regulation. - Foreign languages: to complete and pass subjects taught in a language that is not official in Spain. If said subjects belong to one of the University of Alicante’s courses, they must be approved for language recognition. If they belong to a foreign university, then credits must be recognised in the equivalent UA course. a. Twelve credits = B1 level b. Twenty-four credits = B2 level These are the two ways that students can qualify for the final year undergraduate project and access mobility programmes. - Valencian language and foreign languages: to hold a certificate issued by an institution or body listed in Annex 2 to the above-mentioned regulation. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/idiomaextranjero/foreign-language-accreditation.html
· Curriculum adaptation In order to promote access, continuation of studies and taking the most of the academic year, university students can apply for a number of academic actions and techniques. These actions are aimed to support students in the classroom and in exams by providing them with the required adaptations. Curriculum adaptation can organise in two main groups: - The first group would include students with a degree of physical, hearing or mental disability equal or higher than 33% or those with specific educational needs. - The second group would include other students such as elite athletes or those representing the UA, victims of gender violence, students who are pregnant or in the process of adopting or fostering children, in charge of children under 3 year old or any other family dependant with a working schedule non compatible with lectures or students in a mobility programmes and some other cases. In these cases, it is sent to the centre where the studies are given. www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=3301.pdf web.ua.es/es/cae/apoyo-estudiantes/procedimento-de-solicitud-de-adaptacion-curricular.html Adaptations must be requested from UACloud VC, in the “Student Support” section.
