Written session exams published

Please note:

1. The examination schedule only shows WRITTEN SESSION EXAMS - no oral examinations and no end-of-semester examinations.
   
2. We are still confident that attendance examinations will be possible in January/February. You are thus generally obliged to ensure that you are able to take the examinations at ETH in January/February.
   (For example, by consistently avoiding unprotected close contacts in the run-up to or during the examination session, you can have an influence on not having to be quarantined during the examination period.)
   
3. 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 Saturday mornings and afternoons and during the whole fourth week of the session as well.  
   
4. 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 will send to you all in writing in a short while. We hope you will understand that we will not answer any individual inquiries until this safety concept (resp. the instructions hereto) has been distributed.
   
5. 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 140 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 12'800 registered students are possible.  
   
6. 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] 529-0011-03S "Allgemeine Chemie I (OC)" and [B] 529-0012-03S "Allgemeine Chemie II (OC)" start at 9 a.m. each. These two exams would normally be scheduled one after the other. However, since the exam locations would have to be cleaned before the start of a next exam due to the hygiene measures, both exams now start at the same time. If you are registered for both exams, you will first take [A], stay in your seat (which does not need to be cleaned) and then take [B]. Please take this into account when coordinating your exam dates with possible other arrangements.
   
7. You can submit a request to prepone examinations or to take distance examinations (due to study-specific reasons only!) up to and including Friday, 11 December 2020, 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 can be found on this webpage.  
   
8. The schedule of oral session examinations (with which the room allocations for the written examinations will also be announced) is expected to be published shortly before Christmas. You will be informed by e-mail as soon as the schedule will be available in myStudies.
   
9. Please also note that a late registration for session examinations is still possible up to and including Sunday, 17 January 2021 (provided that sufficient exam seats are available). The corresponding procedure for late registration by e-mail is explained on this webpage.
