A global test will be held to evaluate the theoretical and practical contents of the subject. The test will be held within the period established in the Academic Calendar of the University of León and on the date approved by the Board of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and published well in advance in their schedules.

December Special Call:

It will consist of a written test to assess the theoretical and practical contents of the subject, where the assessment criteria will appear. It will be held on the date established by the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.

Rules for the exams:

Only (blue or black) pens, pencils, or similar financial and/or scientific calculators will be allowed to be used during the development of the written tests. The simple possession of devices such as notes, books, folders, or various unauthorized materials during the evaluation tests will result in the immediate withdrawal of the exam, its expulsion from the same, and its qualification as suspense, communicating the incident to the Academic Authority of the Center to carry out the actions provided in the Guidelines for Action in Cases of Plagiarism, Copying or Fraud in Exams or Evaluation Tests, approved by the Standing Committee of the Governing Council of January 29, 2015.

Exam review:

In order to proceed with the review it will be necessary the previous request of the student. This request can be made in two ways:

a) Preferably through the website of the University of León: www.unileon.es

b) Exceptionally, if they cannot use the procedure foreseen in the previous point, they can fill in the model form that will be provided to the students by the Administrations of the body responsible for the degree.

In any case, the deadline will end at 12:00 a.m. on the working day prior to the review, and must be submitted to the Administration of the Center where the degree to which it belongs is taught, or to the Administration of the Department responsible for the teaching of the subject under review, with the corresponding entry record. For these purposes, Saturday will be considered as a non-working day.
