2. Mobility-Online application

The application process involves several steps.

  • When entering the required information, you can copy most  information from the FCS notification letter.
  • Use capital and lower case letters, only write the first letter of your name as a capital letter and the rest in lower case.
  • Persons with official titles should be entered as follows "Prof. Dr. first name surname". Ensure that all information you enter is correct (e.g. addresses). 
  • Use the email address of your university or company and / or to set the domain ethz.ch on your whitelist so that you are sure to receive ETH emails.
  • In case you have already been at ETH Zurich as a mobility student before, make sure you enter your personal details exactly the same way you did last time (double-check if necessary), so the system recognizes you and adds the new application to your existing user account. Otherwise, the application must be deleted and you have to start over again.
  • After setting it up, you will receive a further email with details of how to log in to Mobility-?Online to complete your application.
  • Always access Mobility-?Online by entering your details in the upper half of the login page (even after you begin your stay at ETH).
  • In case you have forgotten your password to Mobility-?Online or your account is no longer active, contact the Reception Service.
  • Logging in will call up your workflow with all pending steps. Complete these steps by clicking on the link to the corresponding step on the right. The compulsory steps must be completed in the designated order.
