Here you will find the most important information about registering for your Bachelor's or Master's graduation. Details on the «Study Progress & Graduation» app is available on our website.
During your studies, you can track your progress at any time in the "Study Progress & Graduation" app. As soon as you meet the passing requirements, you can register for graduation.
Only register for graduation when all coursework, which should appear on the final records, has been evaluated. Relevant for registering for graduation is the semester reference:
For Spring Semester we will issue the final records dated 30 April and 31 July:
NEW from Fall Semester 2024:
The final records will be dated the last day of the month in which you register for graduation.
For example:
If you register on 16 March, the final records will be dated 31 March.
If you register on 7 October, the final records will be dated 31 October.
Immediately after registering online, you will receive an automatic confirmation to your UZH e-mail address. The Office of Student Affairs will review your graduation suggestion and will correct it if necessary.
If you do a major study program at UZH and a minor study program at another university, the other university must confirm completion of the minor study program with an overall grade (and if applicable an academic record or transcript of records) for the credit to be transferred to the UZH degree. As soon as the minor study program is accredited, you can register for graduation in the «Study Progress & Graduation» app. Please ask the other university to send the mentioned documents by postal mail to the Office of Student Affairs. Additional information is available under MobilityMobility.
We will send the final records no later than twelve weeks after registration for graduation.
Before sending the final records, we will inform you by e-mail that they will be sent to you by postal mail. We do not issue prior confirmations of graduation. For further information if you are transferring to another university, please visit the following website.
Returned final records can be picked up in person at Student Services two weeks after the mailing date. Bring an official form of identification (identity card, passport). An authorized person can pick up your final records for you by presenting a power of attorney with original signature and official identification. Returned final records cannot be forwarded.
If you plan to transfer to the Master’s program, please apply to change the degree program in the course of the next enrollment via the student portal during the specified periods.
The Master's graduation ceremony takes place at 6 pm in the main building. Two guests per student are permitted. The invitation will be sent out approximately one month before the Master's graduation ceremony.
