General conditions for assessment

1. Assessment system
? Continuous assessment (mandatory)
? Global assessment (only in special cases):
• For repeating courses from previous years.
• In cases approved by the Academic Directorate.

2. Attendance required for continuous assessment
? Minimum 80% attendance in classes
? No justified absences for theory classes. Only absences accepted by the Academic Directorate are valid.
• If an accepted absence affects an assessment, an alternative will be offered.
? Results of the continuous assessment will be shared before the end of the teaching period.

3. Second chance (reassessment)
? Mandatory for students who fail or do not meet the attendance requirement.
? Exam dates will not be changed (except for serious, documented reasons).
• Examples of invalid reasons: driving test, travel, mild illness.

4. Support for special needs
? If a student has special needs, the Academic Directorate will inform the teaching staff.
? Assessment will be adapted to ensure equal opportunities.

5. ZERO tolerance for cheating
? If a student cheats in any assessment --> Fail (grade 0) with no second chance.
? A disciplinary process will begin.

6. Submission of assignments
? Deadline: maximum 24 hours after the original due date.
• More than 24 hours late --> Grade 0.
• Less than 24 hours late --> Maximum grade of the assignment: 5 (if passed).
? Teachers may apply stricter rules.


Ex-students or repeat students (previous years) and /or special cases (students authorized by the Academic Board of Directors) must undergo a Global Evaluation (Recuperación) in May. This includes all the work covered throughout the year from September to May. Both parts (written test 75% and oral test 25%) must be taken for the exam to be evaluated.

If these students fail the Global Evaluation, they will be re-evaluated in the Global Re-sit (Re-evaluation) which will be subject to the same conditions as the Global Evaluation.
If they do not take the re-sit, the final grade will be “Not Presented” (N.P.).

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
If a student fails the subject and does not take the reassessment test(s), the final grade will be “Not Presented” (N.P.).

Single Assessment:
The ordinary evaluation system is Continuous Evaluation for all students. Global Evaluation (no class attendance required) is limited to students from previous courses and, in some very special cases, students who are explicitly authorized by the Academic Board of Directors to undergo global evaluation in this subject.

Minimum requirements to pass:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0

Students can send an email to the teaching staff to request a meeting. The tutorial can take place either in person or online.

All necessary information will be explained during class. If needed, an email will also be sent to the whole group or to the relevant students.
Students must contact EUHT StPOL and teachers exclusively through the institutional email. The institution does not take responsibility for communications made through other digital channels.

In order to enrol for the 4th Year English course, Professional English for the Hospitality Industry, students are required to have successfully passed the FIRST YEAR (B2). Attendance to the 4th Year course for unregistered students is permitted, but there is no evaluation system for them until they are allowed to enrol on this course.
