The Plenary may revoke the delegation at any time, thereby reinstating the exercise of the delegated powers.

The composition of the Degree Committee for the Mathematics Degree will be agreed upon by the Mathematics Section Board at the beginning of each academic year. It will be chaired by the Vice-Dean responsible for the degree and will include the Vice-Dean with responsibilities in quality, and representatives of the Teaching and Research Staff, the Administration and Services Staff, and the students of the degree.

It is the responsibility of the Degree Committee, in the field of the Degree in Mathematics:

a) The definition, approval and coordination of the Faculty's actions in relation to teaching.
b) The organization of the teachings to be imparted in the Faculty in order to obtain the academic qualifications contemplated in its study plans.
c) The determination of the standards for the implementation and development of the study plans.

f) Any other matter of academic organization submitted to it by the Plenary Session of the Board, by simple majority, or assigned to it by the aforementioned Regulations.

The members of the Degree Committee are appointed each year at the first Mathematics Section Board meeting.

According to article 7 of the Regulations for the Recognition, Adaptation and Transfer of Credits from the University of La Laguna, in each faculty and University School a Technical Committee for the Recognition of Degree Credits must be established. It must be made up of the dean and secretary of the faculty who will act as President and Secretary, respectively, and four members who must be university professors, civil servants or contracted with permanent links, who will belong to at least two different departments that have been assigned to teach basic and compulsory subjects of the degree/s of the center. They will be appointed by the Faculty Board and the duration of the mandate of the members of the committee will be two academic years.

The Technical Committee for Credit Recognition must report on the applications submitted for recognition, transfer and adaptation of credits and subjects with respect to the degree qualifications assigned to the faculty, which will be resolved by the dean or director. The Technical Committee for Credit Recognition of the center will meet in ordinary session at least once each quarter of the academic year, and in extraordinary session when called by the President on his own initiative or at the initiative of a quarter of the members of the Committee. The committees may request the reports or technical advice they consider necessary in order to resolve the applications submitted.

This is without prejudice to other members provided for in the Internal Quality Assurance System or those who, in the opinion of the dean, should form part of it.

According to the report of the Degree in Mathematics, this committee is responsible for defining the objectives, content and requirements related to external internships. It is also responsible for the search and selection of companies and institutions with which to establish agreements, planning and management of the internships and developing student guidance actions.

Furthermore, according to article twentieth of the Regulations for the management of external internships for students at the University of La Laguna, this committee will have the following academic functions:
