UAH Administrative Assistant Competitive Examinations 2026: What Changes After the Modification

Key data

If you have an ongoing candidacy for the Administrative Assistant competitive examinations at the University of Alcalá, there is a change you need to know about right now. The resolution of April 7, 2026 modifies the original call of October 6, 2025 as a result of the approval of an administrative appeal. This modification, published in the BOE on April 13, 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-8177, is binding: in everything it modifies, it takes precedence over the original text.

The general open access system is maintained. However, the specific conditions that were subject to the appeal have changed. If you already registered under the conditions of October 2025, you cannot assume that your situation remains the same.

What does this regulation establish?

The Resolution of April 7, 2026 is the result of the approval of an administrative appeal filed against the original call for selective tests for admission to the Administrative Assistant Scale of the University of Alcalá.

The key elements established by this resolution are as follows:

• It bindingly modifies certain conditions of the original call published on October 6, 2025.
• In the modified aspects, the content of this resolution takes precedence over the original text of the call.
• It maintains the general open access system as the admission route.
• Applicants already registered must review whether the changes introduced affect their particular situation.

The resolution does not annul the call in its entirety: it only modifies the aspects that were subject to the approved administrative appeal. The selection process remains in force under the new conditions.

Economic and operational impact

This modification does not imply direct economic costs for applicants, but it does have a relevant operational impact that should not be underestimated:

• Risk of exclusion from the process: If the changes affect participation requirements and an already registered applicant does not meet them under the new conditions, they could be excluded from the selection process.
• Investment of time and preparation: Those who have been preparing for these competitive examinations for months have a direct interest in knowing exactly what has changed so as not to prepare content or meet conditions that are no longer applicable.
• Validity of submitted documentation: If the modification affects the required documents or submission deadlines, applicants must act quickly to comply with the new requirements.

From the perspective of the University of Alcalá as the calling body, the approval of the appeal represents an adjustment in the process that ensures the legality of the call and prevents subsequent challenges that could paralyze the entire selection process.

Who does it affect?

• Applicants already registered in the original October 2025 call: must verify whether the changes affect their situation.
• Applicants who have not yet registered and were considering doing so: must read the modified call, not the original.
• Academies and competitive examination preparers working with candidates for this call: must update the information they provide to their students.
• Human Resources departments at the University of Alcalá: must manage the process in accordance with the new conditions established in the modification resolution.

Practical example

Imagine that you registered for the Administrative Assistant competitive examination at the UAH in October 2025, meeting all the requirements in force at that time. The resolution of April 7, 2026 modifies some of those conditions as a result of an approved appeal.

If the modification affects, for example, the qualification requirements, the way to accredit merits, or the deadlines for submitting documentation, your registration could be affected in two possible ways:

• Favorable situation: The new requirements are less restrictive than the original ones, and your candidacy remains valid or even improves its position.
• Unfavorable situation: The new requirements introduce conditions that you did not meet or that require additional documentation that you must submit within the deadline established by the resolution.

In any case, the only way to know for certain how it affects you is to read the complete text of the modification resolution available in the BOE with reference BOE-A-2026-8177 and compare it point by point with the original October 2025 call.

What should applicants do now?

1. Access the complete text of the modification resolution published in the BOE on April 13, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-8177) and read it in full.
2. Compare the new conditions with the original call of October 6, 2025 to identify exactly what aspects have changed.
3. Verify whether your particular situation is affected by the changes: participation requirements, required documentation, deadlines, assessable merits, or other conditions.
4. Act within the deadlines established in the modification resolution if you need to submit additional documentation or correct any aspect of your registration.
5. Consult directly with the University of Alcalá if you have doubts about how the changes affect your specific candidacy. The calling body is the most reliable source of information for resolving specific questions.
