UNED Dénia welcomes students despite weather alert

The event, designed to welcome students joining this year, was affected by the bad weather warning, although student participation was positive, according to the centre.

In the morning, the event took place online and live, with a presentation of the academic offering and the steps needed to register at the university. Practical matters were covered such as the online enrolment process, administrative procedures, library use and academic and professional guidance services, accompanied by a virtual tour of the centre's facilities.

As La Marina Times already reported, the welcome for new students had been in preparation before the official start of the course, scheduled for 5 October.

In the afternoon, the event moved to the Assembly Hall in Dénia, although live streaming was maintained due to weather conditions. During this part of the day, Raquel Martí, director of the UNED Associated Centre in Dénia, welcomed the university community and introduced the team that will lead the centre during the new academic year. The afternoon session focused on explaining available technological resources and navigating the virtual campus, with specific guidance for both those taking the Access Course and students in Degree and Master's programmes.

Throughout the day, centre staff answered queries, questions and suggestions from new students in a live chat.

Activities open to the comarca

Beyond official teaching, UNED Dénia offers a range of educational, cultural and university extension activities throughout the year aimed at all citizens of Marina Alta. These include the Reading Club and UNED Senior, a programme for people over 55 years of age.
