Overview
- The University of Granada has formally activated its Protocolo de Respuesta Institucional ante Crisis y Emergencias to organize an institutional response to the situation in Ceuta.
- The decision follows the mass arrivals at the Ceuta border on July 30 and was announced by rector Pedro Mercado on September 2 to signal proactive planning ahead of the academic year.
- UGR officials say the protocol will order structured coordination among academic centres, campus administration and local civil authorities to review scenarios and define any needed measures before classes begin.
- The university stresses its intention to start the course on September 14 with full guarantees, while pledging resources and support for roughly 1,000 students from Ceuta and asking the community to follow official UGR channels for updates.
- Ceuta is treated as part of the UGR campus and the protocol is framed as a precautionary, preparatory step to protect staff and students rather than an immediate change to teaching or campus access.
