Jan 21, 2026
Given the suspension of the Rodalies railway network service that is affecting travel in Catalonia, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has stated that students who have examinations but cannot reach the schools should not be unfairly disadvantaged by these circumstances. Schools and teaching staff will enable alternative means of assessment or the rescheduling of exams, in accordance with current regulations that recognise causes of force majeure. Those affected must inform teaching staff as soon as possible and provide justification. The exam timetable is maintained for all remaining students.
Regarding teaching and research staff and technical, management, administrative and service staff affected by travel difficulties, they are advised to prioritise teleworking in all functions that allow it, in coordination with their respective units and managers.
