Please note that, in accordance with current regulations, each enrolment in cross-disciplinary subjects, as in this case, will involve a single call and, in those cases in which the continuous assessment process includes a test, this must be taken during the timetable and in the classroom reserved for classes, as these cross-disciplinary subjects do not have a date reserved in the official exam calendars.
