The academic calendar establishes the time frame for the wide variety of academic activities that take place at the University of Granada throughout the year. It also includes national, regional and local holidays when the University is closed, which are marked in red.
Generally speaking, in the public Spanish higher education system, in addition to ordinary assessment periods (in Spanish: convocatorias ordinarias), there are “extraordinary” assessment periods (convocatorias extraordinarias). If you fail a course or exam, or if you are unable to sit an exam or submit an assignment during the ordinary assessment period, then you will have a second opportunity during the convocatoria extraordinaria.
Unlike “resits” or “repeats” at many other international universities, you will not be charged additional fees if you submit work or sit an exam during this extraordinary assessment period.
However, if you fail a course in the extraordinary assessment period you will have to repeat it in the following academic year and pay the corresponding fees. Moreover, if you are a mobility student, bear in mind that if you are evaluated during the extraordinary assessment period at the University of Granada, you may not be able to take resits at your home university. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to submit all coursework and take your exams during the ordinary assessment period.
