Postponement of Service
Information on postponing military service can be found on the website of the Swiss Armed Forces.
The Student Centre of the Faculty of Law supports the request for postponment of military service as mandatory if one of the obligatory reasons according to Section 2, Art 50 WMPD CdA is fulfilled (see form for postponment of military service). If no obligatory reason in accordance with Section 2, Art. 50 WMPD CdA is fulfilled, but the military service takes place during the semester, a recommendation for approval can be issued according to the comment.
In order to obtain the required signature for the service deferral form, submit the completed service deferral form (which you can find on the website of the Swiss Armed Forces) to the Student Center via the contact form (section "Deferral of military service"). The form, signed by the faculty, will be returned to you via email.
