§ 27. 1 Students who are unable to take an assessment due to urgent, unforeseeable, and unavoidable reasons – either prior to or during the assessment – must submit a written request to withdraw from the assessment, including rationale and appropriate evidence (for example, a doctor’s note) to the Dean’s Office as soon as possible, but no later than five business days after the absence begins.

2 If a candidate fails to take an assessment and has not been excused, the corresponding module is registered as failed.

§ 28. Candidates with disabilities or chronic diseases may submit a request for assessment-related compensatory measures to the Dean’s Office up to five days prior to the cancellation deadline.

§ 29. 1 Assessments are graded using a numerical system or on a “pass/fail basis.” The study regulations govern which assessments are graded, or this information is given in the course catalogue. 2 For graded assessments, grades from 6 to 1 are awarded, with 6

being the highest and 1 the lowest grade. A mark below 4 is a failing grade. Half and quarter grades may be given; half grades are preferred.

3 If partial grades are awarded, they must be given as half or quarter grades. When calculating partial grades, half or quarter grades must be used.

§ 30. 1 In the double degree Master's programs, failed attempts in assessments worth a total of 24 ECTS credits are allowed.

2 The right to initiate disciplinary proceedings is reserved. 3 If dishonest conduct, as defined by section 1, comes to light after

conferral of an academic degree, the Faculty Assembly will revoke the degree; all diplomas will be rescinded.

§ 34. After each semester, students are sent a transcript of records on the coursework completed up to that point. The transcript provides an overview of all modules attended to date, including the ECTS credits awarded and, where applicable, the grades earned. It lists the passed and failed modules. For work that was not completed at UZH, it also states at which university the student assessment was held.

§ 35. 1 Students who fail the repeat examination for a compulsory module or who exceed the allowed number of failed attempts will be definitively excluded from studies.

2 Students who can no longer meet the core elective pool r equirements will be definitively excluded from studies.

Faculty upon application by the student.

§ 37. 1 The degree is awarded with a weighted overall grade. The graded modules are included in the weighted overall grade based on the weighting of their ECTS credits. The weighted overall grade is calculated using non-rounded initial values.

2 Coursework completed at a partner faculty is graded on a pass/fail basis.

3 Calculation of the average grade is exact; the result is rounded to one decimal point.

4 The grading scale ranges from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest and 1 the lowest grade. A mark below 4 is a failing grade.

5 Particularly good performances (based on the weighted overall grade) are awarded the following distinctions: a. 5.5 and above: summa cum laude, b. 5.0 and above: magna cum laude.

§ 38. 1 When awarding credit, completed modules are generally considered in chronological order, starting with the earliest.

2 If it is not possible to take all modules into consideration, the modules designated by the student from among the modules that were completed during the same semester will be credited to the degree.

3 Superplus modules are modules that are, in accordance with the program regulations, not needed to earn the ECTS credits necessary for the degree.

4 Superplus modules are marked as “not counted toward the degree” in the Academic Record and are not relevant for the final degree.

§ 39. Graduates of the Double Degree Master’s Program receive the following degree documents: a. the diploma, b. the diploma supplement, c. the Academic Record.

Diploma § 40. 1 The diploma bears the seals of the University and the Faculty of Law as well as the signatures of the President of the University of Zurich and of the Dean of the Faculty of Law.

§ 44. 1 The following transitional provisions apply for students who started a double degree Master's program at the Faculty of Law, University of Zurich before this framework ordinance entered into force, but who have not yet completed studies, and who have not been definitively excluded from studies: 1. As of the fall semester 2013, a change takes effect in the corresponding

Failed repeat examinations from study programs governed by the old regulations are not transferred.
