Academic Exchanges: prepare your computer account
Before following the procedure below make sure you have the confirmation e-mail you received from the Academic Exchange Office at hand, it contains the individual login data you will need.
Before coming to the University of Geneva:
1. Choose and register your UNIGE password
- To create your password, go to mdp.unige.ch and click on “set or reset the password” with your login and your private e-mail address.
- This password will allow you to access most of the digital services available to you (email, student portal, UNIGE mobile application, etc.). It is personal and non-transferable.
2. Secure your access outside the UNIGE network
- To access the UNIGE network when working/studying outside the University (using tools such as: VPN, VDI), a strong ISIs+ security code is required (in addition to your UNIGE login and password).
- To obtain this code you must use the UNIGE Mobile app.
2.1 Follow the instructions (Steps 1 to 3) indicated in the following document : How to install and configure the UNIGE Mobile app.
2.2 If needed (obtaining the code by text message does not work) :
a) Request a security code by contacting the CAD. Provide them with a copy of your identity card or passport: Request the security code: Submit an issue
b) Log on to my-account.unige.ch using your UNIGE login and the security code you obtained from the CAD.
Update your contact information (phone number, personal e-mail address).
c) Return to the instructions indicated in the following document (Option 2 : Scan a QR code, the prerequisite was already done) : How to install and configure the UNIGE Mobile app.
3. Link your UNIGE account to your SWITCH edu-ID account
Log in to my-account.unige.ch with your UNIGE login and access the "My SWITCH edu-ID account" section
- Click on the button** "Link my accounts" and follow the instructions.
(**) : if the UNIGE and SWITCH accounts are already linked, the button is replaced by status: 'UNIGE account linked'
- The SWITCH edu-ID account is required to access various digital services, not only from the UNIGE such as Moodle, Mediaserver, UNIPASS but also from other Swiss universities (UNIL, EPFL, HES,...) or other Swiss academic resources such as swisscovery.
