(*) Re-take exams are only available for UPF or ESCI regular courses and these exams take place after the end of the term for students who have failed a course in the first call (during regular exam period). Re-take exams will only be available in absentia if the professor and pertinent School agree (i.e. international students are expected to pass the exams in the first call. Only students who have not passed the first call of the exam may take the re-take exam which will take place after the semester is over, which means they may need to come back to Barcelona to do so)
