Notify of a change of residence permit

Your residence permit has changed? You must notify the Admissions Office.

Why is it important to notify a residence permit change?

Once a year, the University transfers your data to the Caisse genevoise de compensation (OCAS). Depending on your permit, you might have to pay the OASI (AVS in french) contribution.
