How do I find out my examination results?

• All of your achievements for which the confirming decree has been issued, together with the number of credit points obtained, are listed in myStudies, under "Transcript of records".
• The Study Administration Offices decree the performance assessments on a periodic basis, including shortly after the grading conference.
• The final academic records are sent to you by post.
• For all other grades and results, you will receive an e-mail from your Study Administration Office. This lists all courses for which the grades/results have been decreed.
  You can view the actual grades in the transcript of records in myStudies.
• Once you have received the results, and you believe that the performance evaluation is unjustified, you have thirty days to request a written decree on the results against which you can file an appeal.

Missing credit points for successfully passed examinations

• In order that credit points for successful achievements can be recognised in the transcript of records, these achievements must be decreed by your Study Administration Office.
  If there are credit points missing, please contact your Study Administration Office.

I failed the first-year examinations on the first try – what are my options?

• Repetition of the first year
  You are free to repeat the first year of your degree programme. If you take the first attempt at the first-year examinations after two semesters (in the summer examination session) a repetition of the whole first year is possible. If you take the first attempt after three semesters (in the winter examination session) you may only repeat the second semester.
• Course attendance confirmation and assessment load
  All course attendance confirmations you already received remain valid - if you repeat the first year of your degree programme you don't have to acquire them again. However, please note that duration, mode and assessment load of the performance assessments which are to be retaken correspond to the last course held.
• Continue with the next semester of your Bachelor-programme
  You can enrol regularly into the third semester and continue with your Bachelor studies. At the same time you have to retake the first-year examinations within the prescribed deadline.
• Change of degree programme within the ETH Zurich
  It is basically possible for you to change your degree programme. However, depending on your choice you may have only one try left for the first-year examinations.
  Detailed information can be found under change of degree programme.
• Change of degree programme to the University of Zurich
  A change to the University of Zurich is only possible before the autumn semester.
  Please note the registration deadline!

I failed the first-year examinations twice - what next?

• Change of degree programme within the ETH Zurich
  If the new degree programme is a so-called 'related' degree programme, a change is not possible.
  Detailed information can be found under change of degree programme.
• Change of degree programme to the University of Zurich
  A change to the University of Zurich is only possible before the autumn semester.
  Please note the registration deadline!
  Detailed information: Change to the University of Zurich (available in German only, PDF, 54 kB)
• Orientation Semester
  Even though your failure to pass the first-year examinations twice results in the exclusion of the Bachelor programme, you may still stay enroled for one Semester immediately after the exclusion (a so-called Orientation Semester). This semester offers you time to re-orientate yourself without losing your status as a student.
  For detailed information see the Directive concerning the Orientation Semester (available in German only, PDF, 39 kB)
