This UNIGE account must be linked to the SWITCH edu-ID account in order to be alble to access UNIGE's academic e-Learing services such as Moodle and Mediaserver.

SWITCH edu-ID is a free academic authentication service deployed by the Swiss Confederation and the university cantons to provide you with a secure and unique identifier which will accompany you during and after your studies.

The SWITCH edu-ID service allows anyone to immediately create their own account. Since January 2021, its use gradually spread within UNIGE. Therefore, each UNIGE member must create their SWITCH edu-ID account and link it to their UNIGE account.
