Study Progress & Graduation

From the fall semester 2022 a new app will be available in the Student Portal. «Study Progress & Graduation» allows you to track your academic progress throughout your studies, and to amend your graduation suggestion.
This app therefore accompanies your studies from matriculation to graduation.
 
Follow your studies
The app shows the program requirements, in other words, the requirements that must be fulfilled according to the current program regulations for your degree. The achievements that you have acquired at the Faculty of Science can usually be found under «Individual Academic Achievements». You can assign these achievements to your study program (single-major, major or minor study program). This allows you to influence your proposal for a degree. The exception is the master's thesis, which you can find directly under your program. If you are studying a minor study program at another faculty, you will see that many creditable study achievements have already been assigned to the non-faculty minor. This means that you can influence your graduation suggestion by editing it in this app.
 
Register for graduation
In order for us to process your graduation application, it must be submitted in the "Study progress & graduation" app in the student portal.

For graduations in the fall semester, applications must be submitted between October 16 and March 15. For spring semester degrees, applications must be submitted between March 16 and October 15. If you are unable to meet these deadlines, you must be enrolled for the following semester. Otherwise we will technically not be able to complete the degrees. These are university deadlines and we, the MNF, are not in a position to approve exceptions.

 
Students who wish to leave the UZH after graduation can terminate their matriculated status and withdraw from the university, provided all academic achievements required for graduation have been successfully completed. Should any academic achievements still be outstanding, you must remain enrolled at the UZH. 
 
Information and a video about the app: «Study Progress and Graduation» can be found on the «UZH for Students» website under «Study Progress and Graduation».

The Faculty of Science's studies committee approves applications to graduate on the first working day of each month. The approval date is stated on the graduation documents. Applications must be received at least one week prior to approval if they are to be listed in the agenda for the next meeting. If you are completing a non-faculty minor programme, the deadline is two weeks prior to the next approval. If you do not intend to carry on studying at UZH after completing your Bachelor's or Master's degree, you do not need to enrol for the following semester as long as you have completed your academic requirements for graduation, including submission of your Master's thesis and the Master's examination, before the start of the following semester's lecture period. If you cannot meet this deadline, you will have to enrol for another semester. Once your graduation application has been processed, you will automatically receive a provisional confirmation. It could take several weeks for your graduation documents to reach you, depending on when you submitted your application.
