Online withdrawal from session examinations rescheduled to an earlier date, outside of the examination session, is not possible.
Come in person to the Student Exchange Office no later than two weeks before the examination date in question. (ETH Zentrum, HG F 23.1)

Once the withdrawal deadline has expired, it is only possible to withdraw on grounds of force majeure (e.g. illness or an accident).
Print out the withdrawal form from myStudies and take this, in person, to the Examinations Office.
At the same time, a well-justified application must be submitted, which should be attached to the corresponding documentary evidence (e.g. doctor’s certificate).

During the scheduling of oral examinations, the withdrawal window has to be closed for a period of approximately three weeks due to technical reasons.
You can either wait until the withdrawal window reopens or you can withdraw in writing during this period. To do so, print out the withdrawal form in myStudies and come in person to the reception desk at the Examinations Office, taking the form with you. (Please note the opening hours!)
However, following the temporary blocking of the withdrawal window, you can once again withdraw from examinations online.
