There are more study areas now that libraries offer special opening hours during the February and June exam periods. The study hall of the Social Sciences library is open 24 hours and other centres are open later in June, such as the Faculty of Sciences and Biosciences, which is open until 1 am. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is open from 8 am to 8 pm every weekend. The Schools of Sabadell, which participate in the Study Hall Programme organised by the Sabadell City Council, will be open every weekend until 4 July, as well as on 24 June, a public holiday.

In order to combine study time with sport activities or relaxation moments - and bearing in mind that studies have demonstrated that this combination can increase academic performance - SAF offers all students enrolled in Catalan universities a special promotion entitled "Temps d’exàmens? Tens el SAF!". SAF offers this promotion which lasts from 8 to 26 June each year so that students can have free access to its facilities and relax or take part in different staff directed activities or just spend time around the sports centre. All those interested need only fill out a form available at the SAF website and show a valid student ID card when entering the facilities. During the promotion, students can come to the SAF sports centre as many times as they wish.
