Counselling services for students
Critical study situations
There are situations in life that are challenging and can have a negative impact on the student's performance and advancement in the study programme. This is often associated with health problems and psychological stress. This can quickly lead to problems regarding the requirements of the programme regulation and/or the ETH Zurich Ordinance on Performance Assessments.
Your options
Help is available in such situations. The Counselling & Coaching Centre supports Bachelor's and Master's students with the following services:
- Information on administrative requirements for your individual situation (e.g. deadlines, deregistration from exams, holidays, etc.)
- Counselling on long-term study planning
- Advice on various options (e.g. applying for exceptions such as deadline extensions)
- Contacting internal contact points, e.g. in the department of your degree programme
Making an appointment
Contact the Counselling & Coaching Centre as early as possible to arrange a personal appointment.
If you have medical or other documents that are important for the counselling session, bring them with you to the appointment.
