During the course, any change in personal data or registration details, will be reflected in the Virtual Campus within 48 hours of the modification.

There may be spaces that appear labeled as 'Not available for students', as the lecturers involved in them regulate their availability.

The Virtual Campus Help guide can be consulted here: https://docs.campusvirtual.urv.cat/

Supervision and evaluation of doctoral students (SAD)

The work carried out by doctoral students during the process of writing their doctoral thesis is evaluated every year. Students must receive a positive evaluation to be able to continue with their doctoral studies and to register for the following academic year. The "SAD - Supervision and Assessment of Doctoral Students" is the online platform that will allow doctoral students to complete their Doctoral Student Activities Document (DAD) and Research Plan (PLAINV) online and which will enable thesis supervisors and the academic committees to supervise and assess their doctoral students.

SAD shows academic information (deadline for depositing the doctoral thesis, full-time or part-time studies, temporal leaves or extensions, research line, thesis supervisor, etc.).

The username and the password are the same as the ones you use to access the URV's digital services.

Students can access the SAD platform after registration, but they can introduce information only when the period for introducing and/or modifying the DAD and the PLAINV is open. The assessment calendar shows these periods.

For more information regarding the annual assessment or its content, access the "User guide for doctoral students" and the SAD online platform visit this link
