Notify of an official change of name, surname and/or gender

Any student at the UNIGE who officially changes their name, surname and/or gender must inform the Admissions Office in order to update their data within the information system. The change will be made on:

• Any official document: transcripts, diplomas, etc;
• The multiservices card;
• The UNIGE e-mail address book;
• The UNIGE e-mail address.

However, the ISIS ID/login/short name (usually composed of the start of the surname + password) is not modified.

Important: the changes are only made on the basis of an official document. Other documents can be requested, such as proof of name/surname/gender change or the physical ID card. In that case, it is necessary to visit the Admissions Office.

2. Log in with your UNIGE student login and password (on the left of the page);
