When and how?

  ATTENTION: The latest deadline for deregistering has been postponed by one week as of Summer Session 2009!

• Via myStudies

What?

• All session and end-of-semester examinations for which you have registered
• Note: Where examinations are part of an examination block, students may only withdraw from the whole block as opposed to individual examinations.

In which cases can students not withdraw online?

• If a deadline is exceeded as a result of withdrawal, it is not possible to withdraw online (e.g. exceeding the deadline for taking the first year examinations for the first time). In this case, you must request a deadline extension by submitting a written application to the Student Administration (Mrs. Dr. P. Wyrsch, Head of Student Administration, Rämistrasse 101, HG FO 22.1, 8092 Zurich).
• If the withdrawal deadline is exceeded before the deadline extension has been granted, you can withdraw in person at the Examinations Office. Please note the opening hours.
• You cannot withdraw from an examination block which has been interrupted in the previous session due to illness.
  In this case, please contact the Examinations Office by telephone.

Special cases

Late withdrawal from examinations (illness)

• Once the withdrawal deadline has expired, it is only possible to withdraw on grounds of force majeure (e.g. illness or an accident).
• Contact the Examinations Office immediately by telephone (Tel. 044 632 20 68). You must present a certificate setting out the reason for absence.

Withdrawal block during examination scheduling

• During the scheduling of oral examinations, the withdrawal window has to be closed for a period of approximately three weeks due to technical reasons.
• You can either wait until the withdrawal window reopens or you can withdraw in writing during this period. To do so, print out the withdrawal form in myStudies and come in person to the reception desk at the Examinations Office, taking the form with you. Please note the opening hours.
  However, following the temporary blocking of the withdrawal window, you can once again withdraw from examinations online.
