Regarding assessment procedures, as stated in the Regulations for Students of the University of Vigo, students have the right (Art. 3.10) "to be evaluated through continuous assessment, with the option of global assessment tests in all subjects and evaluation opportunities throughout the academic year."

The teaching guides provide information about the development of continuous assessment and global assessment tests, detailing how continuous assessment is conducted in the first and second opportunities. The guides also explain how global assessment is conducted if a student has opted out of continuous assessment.

Regarding opting out of continuous assessment, each subject establishes a deadline for requesting this option. The minimum deadline for opting out cannot be less than one month from the start of the subject.

If a student provides justification (documentary evidence and following the procedures established by the school) that they cannot attend a mandatory face-to-face activity due to one of the reasons stated in Article 15 of the Evaluation Regulations, the situation regarding the student's grades, teaching quality, and learning progress will be reviewed by the Standing Committee (Comisión Permanente), which will consider alternative solutions in coordination with the teaching team responsible for the subject.

If a student justifies that they cannot attend an evaluation test due to one of the reasons stated in Article 15 of the Evaluation Regulations, they have the right to take the evaluation test on another date determined by the faculty member responsible for the subject, aiming to reach a consensus with the student regarding the new date.

Pursuant to the provisions set forth in the "Regulations on the Assessment, Grading and Quality of Teaching and of the Student Learning Process" of the University of Vigo, during assessment activities, "unless expressly authorised, students are prohibited from using or possessing any reference or support materials, as well as any electronic devices with communication and/or data storage capabilities. Such devices must remain switched off and kept out of the student’s reach and sight until they have left the examination venue." Failure to comply with this rule shall constitute academic misconduct and shall entail immediate expulsion from the examination, as well as the award of a grade of zero (fail) in the corresponding examination opportunity, irrespective of the weighting of the assessment activity in question within the overall grade for that opportunity, and without prejudice to any disciplinary consequences that may arise.

Where there are substantiated grounds to call into question the authorship or integrity of the assessment task(s), including the possible improper use of artificial intelligence tools or other unauthorised procedures, teaching staff may, once the assessment process has been completed, require students to attend an individual verification session. In such cases, the grades awarded shall be deemed provisional until the relevant checks have been completed. During this session, students shall be required to demonstrate, to a sufficient degree, their understanding of the assessed content and their ability to explain and substantiate the answers or solutions submitted.

Any aspect or circumstance related to the content of the teaching guides or the development of assessment systems and tests that is not detailed in the guides or raises doubts of interpretation will be evaluated by the School's Standing Committee.
