Assessment and related procedures
Here you can consult information on assessment processes, how curricular assessment works and related procedures.
WHERE CAN I CONSULT THE MARKS FOR SUBJECTS?
Once the examinations are over (see the examination schedule hrere) on the date indicated in the academic calendar (see the academic calendar here) the professors publish the final marks proposed for each subject.
The marks obtained for the subjects can be consulted on the home page of theNetArea and in the ACADEMIC RECORD → Documentation section of the e-Secretaria.
The final mark is the definitive mark that is recorded in the academic record once the assessment committees have met. The mark on the academic record is not definitive until the official date of publication of the final marks, after the curricular assessment committee has met.
What can you do if you do not agree with the mark for a subject?
1. Initial review of assessment results. You have to go directly to the professor responsible for the subject to request a review of the final mark.
2. Appeals against decisions by the professors responsible for subjects. You must file an appeal, explicitly stating the reasons, with the director of the School within seven days of the publication of the mark in question. To do this procedure you must access the Electronic Office and make an application addressed to the Director.
3. Appeals against decisions by the director of the School. Appeals against decisions by the director of the School with regard to marks or recognition of credits must be made through an appeal to the rector within one month from the day after you receive notification of the decision. To do this procedure you must access the Electronic Office and make an application addressed to th rector for topics included in the academic regulations for bachelor's and master's studies of the UPC.
HOW DOES CURRICULAR ASSESSMENT WORK?
At the end of each semester, the bachelor’s degree assessment committee studies the performance of students who have been assessed at least once in all the subjects in the curricular area. In addition, the committee assesses students who have come to the end of the period for passing the initial stage, even if they have not taken all the subjects in this stage.
To find out when the bachelor's degree assessment committee meets, see the link assessment calendar for bachelor's degree students at Enrolment and assessment calendars.
From Q1 2025-26, the curricular evaluation regulations are the ones that can be consulted in this link.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs) on curricular assessment
The weighted average for curricular areas is calculated by multiplying the mark for each subject by the corresponding number of credits, and dividing by all the credits in the curricular area.
Failed subjects are also included in the calculation. For passed subjects, the last mark obtained is taken into account. If the subject is failed and in a previous assessment it was given a mark of 4 or higher, the highest mark is considered (even if it is not that of the last assessment).
To calculate the average mark of the curricular areas, subjects that have been validated without a mark are not considered. Therefore, the credits corresponding to these subjects must be subtracted from the total number of credits in the divisor.
You can decide to enrol for them or not. If you enrol and get a lower mark, in the curricular assessment the highest mark will always be considered.
If it is the only subject that you still have to pass in the curricular area, you will have to enrol for the subject again.
If you have failed another subject in the same area, also with a mark between 4 and 4.9, you will have to enrol for at least one of these subjects that you failed to increase your average mark for the curricular area so that the assessment committee can again consider whether to pass the subjects you failed with a mark between 4 and 4.9.
In no case will the assessment committee consider passing subjects failed with a mark between 4 and 4.9 if you have subjects failed with a mark below 4 in the same curricular area.
In some degrees, external or work placements are compulsory credits. However, they do not affect curricular assessment in any way. In other words, you do not need to have taken them to be eligible for curricular assessment, and the mark obtained in professional placements is not considered to calculate the average of any area.
