Based on the “General Regulations for Students at Zurich University of the Arts” (enacted on 18 December 2017), student performance is graded as follows: A
| A | Outstanding (6): distinguished performance |
| B |
...
| Very good (5.5): above-average performance |
| C |
...
| Good (5): good and solid overall performance |
...
| D |
...
| Satisfactory (4.5): average performance |
| E |
...
| Sufficient (4): performance satisfies minimum requirements |
...
| FX | Fail (3.5): some rework is required (up to one year for resubmission of work) |
| F |
...
| Clear fail / Gradation: 3 = insufficient, 2 = weak, 1 = very weak, i.e., no work done, absent student or plagiarised work — no rework possible as a rule. |
The predicate “With distinction” is awarded to students whose performance has received a Grade A or a 5.75 and more.
Repeated absences and lateness will impact your grade.

Evaluation criteria consist of three components: (1)
- Regular and punctual attendance (at least 80% of all classes; students who fail to meet this requirement will automatically “fail” the respective course/seminar/module).
...
- Active participation in classwork and coming to classes prepared.
...
- Timely submission of complete course assignments/projects etc.

IMPORTANT: Not all providers are serious and have honest intentions. Also, they require users to accept terms and conditions that the university’s legal services are unable to verify in each and every case. Most “free music” is subject to licensing fees if accessed online or in public, or if synchronised on video. SUISA fees might also be levied. Please ensure that you check both the applicable terms and conditions of use and the provider’s cost model, and proceed accordingly, before using tracks.
