The University of Murcia is going to ask the Autonomous Community for a change in the calendar of the entrance exams to the University so that the September call for the Baccalaureate Assessment for University Access (EBAU) is moved to the month of July .
With this proposal, the University of Murcia wants to solve two problems fundamentally.
The first is that those who have to be examined in the month of September can not access the admission processes in the autonomous communities that have already implemented this calendar change;
and the second issue is that doing the tests in September means starting the course when several weeks have already passed.
"De facto, it means that these students start the course a month and a half after the rest and they miss important classes and practices, which means they can not have an optimal academic performance in the first year of their career," argues Sonia Madrid, Vice Chancellor of Studies.
The University of Murcia is preparing a detailed study of how the EBAU calendar is structured in the autonomous communities that no longer have September and the performance of this organizational model.
The intention is to present this document in the Coordination Commission of the EBAU, which include the University of Murcia, the UPCT and the Ministry of Education.
The document will serve as a starting point to formally request the Autonomous Community that the call for September be moved to July.
Currently, eleven of the seventeen autonomous communities already make the extraordinary call in July.
This means that 73% of applicants to enter the university no longer have exams in the month of September.
The initial approach would be that the ordinary call for the EBAU in the Region of Murcia was made in the first week of June and one month later, the extraordinary call.
If this modification is applied, in no case would this course be applicable.
