• Automatic: For students eligible for exemption based on their status. This exemption is managed by the administration office of the Faculty and the Admission Office;
• On request: For students in conditions of financial difficulty and not receiving any grant or study loan.

• Be enrolled at UNIGE;
• Prove a difficult financial situation (please see the fee waivers directive [French only]);
• Not be eligible for a cantonal grant (SBPE) or have been refused for it.

Our service will wait for the SBPE’s decision before deciding on the application for fee waivers. The negative decision must be sent to exo-taxes(at)unige.ch as soon as you receive it.

HES-SO Geneva students can, under certain conditions (see directive), submit a request for financial support for the payment of their fee via a emergency assistance request on the online form.

• Complete the online form (available from September 15 to 30 each academic year);
• Bring your complete application to our exo-taxes booths.

After submission, an appointment with a manager will be required to finalize the file. It is important to pay the fixed administrative fee of 65 CHF to avoid unenrollment.

Between September 15 and 30 of each academic year.

During the year only in cases of new registration or refusal of cantonal grant.

Submitting a request does not guarantee its granting, each file is evaluated on the basis of numerous criteria.
