Withdrawing from the University

No. Withdrawal from the university is carried out by the Student Administration Office and must be requested separately via “My Requests and Invoices” in the student portal.

Modules already booked for the coming semester and the related examination procedures will automatically be canceled by the University of Zurich if you withdraw from the university. Information about the reimbursement of semester fees can be found on the website Withdrawing from the University, under "Reimbursement of Semester Fees."

No, you do not immediately have to pay the invoice you received. The deadlines for paying the invoice for semester fees are 31 July for the Fall Semester and 31 January for the Spring Semester. You will receive a payment reminder from the Student Administration Office in mid-August for the Fall Semester and mid-February for the Spring Semester.

Please note that you will not receive proof of matriculation for the new semester, and you will not be able to book modules or validate your UZH Card until you have paid the semester invoice. Information about activating these services can be found on the website Enrollment under "Activating Booking Modules, Validation of the UZH Card, Mailing of Proof-of-Matriculation Vouchers."

Information about the reimbursement of semester fees in the event you subsequently withdraw from the university can be found on the website Withdrawing from the University. Please note the deadlines.

You will continue to have access to the University of Zurich’s online services for about four months.
