Military service / Swiss army (in French only)
Dans la mesure du possible, les obligations militaires sont accomplies avant le début des études. Pour repousser un cours de répétition, l’étudiant doit suffisamment tôt en faire la demande écrite à l’autorité militaire accompagnée d’une attestation de l’école. Pour toute demande justifiée de déplacement de service, le militaire astreint doit remplir le formulaire adéquat mis à sa disposition sur le site internet www.armee.ch ou dans les secrétariats des bâtiments James-Fazy (domaine Design) et Boulevard Helvétique (domaine Arts visuels) et joindre les documents demandés. Après examen de la situation de l’étudiant, le bureau de consultation complète les documents et les adresse à l’organe de liaison.
