FAQ

When you first enrol at University College Alberta Giménez (CESAG), a Comillas student email address will be created for you containing a numeric code, such as “[email protected]”. This address is based on your user profile (academic code) which was created when you pre-registered.

This email address is important, because it is where you’ll receive all the academic notifications and alerts. They will not be sent to your personal email address. If when your course starts you find you can’t remember your username or password, use this recovery link. If you are a lecturer or administrative and service staff, click here.

Tutorial

Since 8 January 2023, Comillas Pontifical University has been gradually implementing the use of two-factor authentication as a security measure in all its accounts. In addition to your personal password, it introduces an additional verification step, which is carried out through a mobile app or text message (SMS).

Once activated, an error message appears saying “Se necesita más información” [“More information needed”] and you cannot access your email, the intranet or our virtual campus. In this tutorial, we show you how to set up two-factor authentication and access your account again.

What is two-factor authentication?

The Virtual Campus groups together the information about the subjects you have been enrolled for and each lecturer posts information and resources of interest. The intranet brings together the student’s academic and administrative information.

The lower menu on the website contains a direct link to the campus and another to the intranet. Here there is a guide for you containing more details about accessing the Virtual Campus. We explain what to do if you get an error message the first time you log in (to enable you as a user).

No. They have their very own virtual campus, accessible to them at https://campus.cesag.org).

Your username for this Virtual Campus is your ID card number (without the letter) and the password you set when you enrolled.

If you can’t remember your password, you can regenerate it from the initial web page for the Virtual Campus (https://campus.cesag.org), where you’ll see a link “Olvidó su nombre de usuario o contraseña? ” [“Forgotten your username or password?”]. You’ll be sent an email to the email address you gave for enrolling on the online DECA programme containing instructions on how to change your password.

Two situations could occur:

1. My academic transcript has been classified as in abeyance. The transcript is the part which records all the continuous assessment elements of the subject and class attendance. In this case, you cannot enrol for the subject from the later year of your course. Enrol only for the subject you have failed.
2. My academic transcript has been classified as a pass. In this case, you may be able to combine the two subjects and not to attend the classes for the subject you had failed. In any case, it is important to look in detail at the regulations and the degree to which the timetables coincide.

   It is essential that you discuss the situation with the teacher for the subject you have failed and that you do this before the enrolment process, so that the teacher can come to an agreement with you, if necessary, about tutorials or student-monitoring action. If it is the second time that the student has failed that subject, the student must go to the class, do and submit all the elements of the continuous assessment, and sit the exam again. Remember that failing to attend the class for one subject in order to attend classes for another subject from a previous year of the course shall not be considered justified.

You can’t repeat the same placement sphere. The sector where you do your placement in the third year of the course cannot be repeated in the fourth year. The aim of this process is to give you broad experience. Remember that Sports Management is only offered in the fourth year.

Not in the first year of the course. From the second year on, you can choosefrom the list of the semi-private and private schools with which we have collaboration agreements.

Yes. The current legislation in the Balearic Islands sets out that to teach Catalan lessons and classes in the Catalan language at Early Childhood and Primary School Education level, you must hold the CCIP (Certificate of Competence in Catalan Language Teaching) qualification. The equivalence of University College Alberta Giménez degrees in Education awarded by Comillas with this certificate has been duly recognised.

Upon finishing your Bachelor’s degree (or degrees), when you apply at the Academic Secretary’s Office for your qualification certificate to be issued, you will be issued with an academic certificate, along with an appendix which accredits that you have studied a series of subjects linked to the content certified by the CCIP.

When you have got this documentation, you have to contact the Servei de Formació Homologada i Capacitació (C/Ter, 16, 2º planta) in Polígono de Son Fuster (Palma) and apply for your CCIP. It is the only regional education department in the Govern’s Conselleria de Educación with the authority to issue it.

As well as the specialism in English and the degree qualification, according to state legislation you will need a B2-level certificate in English (issued by recognised certifying entities which are external to University College Alberta Giménez).

University College Alberta Giménez, in its degree courses and English courses, offers its students training geared towards achieving that level. In any case, universities are not authorised to issue those certifications.
