Exam schedule of written session exams published
The schedule of written session examinations can now be viewed on myStudies - button "Session examinations" on the entry page.
Please note:
- The examination schedule only shows WRITTEN SESSION EXAMS - no oral examinations and no end-of-semester examinations.
- Attendance examinations will be conducted. You are thus obliged to ensure that you are able to take the examinations at ETH in January/February.
- The Federal Office of Public Health requirements in connection with the coronavirus pandemic will of course be complied with. For example, when planning the examinations, care was taken to ensure that examinations in the same building/area begin at different times (to relieve public transport and to reduce excessive crowding in front of the buildings) and that the examinations are spread over the whole day. In addition, regulations on distancing measures are strictly followed within the examination venues as well.
These and other regulations resulted, among other things, in written examinations having to be scheduled on Saturdays and during the whole fourth week of the session as well.
- We are currently also working to update the safety concept (resp. the instructions hereto) with regard to measures, regulations and behavior in connection with the coronavirus pandemic during the examination session, which we expect to send you in written form with the publication of the personal examination schedule (approx. 24 December 2021). We hope you will understand that we will not answer any individual inquiries until this safety concept (resp. the instructions hereto) has been distributed.
- The examination schedule has been made in such a way that every chosen combination of exams belonging to the curriculum of each student is possible. As a result, up to 150 written exams per study program are held over a period of four weeks. It is therefore possible to have - depending on your choice - 2 examinations per day or examinations on several consecutive days - for this purpose, all selected combinations of all the approximately 14’200 registered students are possible.
- It might be possible that you are registered for two exams, which now start at the same time according to your examination schedule. For example, the two semester courses [A] 551-0317-00S «Immunology I» and [B] 551-0318-00S «Immunology II» start at 9.30 a.m. each. These two exams would normally be scheduled one after the other. If you are registered for both exams, you will first take [A], stay in your seat and then take [B]. Please take this into account when coordinating your exam dates with possible other arrangements.
- Important note for students who have registered either for the exam 252-0026-00S "Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen" (concerns the second exam date on 4 February 2022) or 252-0027-00S "Einführung in die Programmierung" (27 January 2022):
Due to the high number of registrations, it has not yet been definitively determined whether these examinations will have to be conducted in two tranches. The duration of the respective examination corresponds to the duration published in the course catalog, however, the respective whole day has been reserved for these examinations. You will be informed at a later date about the definitive method of execution and the allocation.
At this point an additional request: All students who already know at this point that they will not be taking one of these two exams are asked to deregister from the exam (resp. the corresponding exam block) in question.
- You can submit a request to prepone examinations or to take distance examinations (due to study-specific reasons only!) up to and including Monday, 6 December 2021, via myStudies (myStudies > Functions > Examinations). Please note that Covid-19 or related quarantine or isolation measures are not a sufficient reason for preponing or taking distance examinations and corresponding requests will not be approved. Further information
- The schedule of oral session examinations (with which the room allocations for the written examinations will also be announced) is expected to be published until 24 December 2021. You will be informed by e-mail as soon as the schedule will be available in myStudies.
