For ongoing controls and examinations during the semester, please complete the online application and provide the requested documents. Your file will be processed as soon as possible (minimum 2 weeks).

• Documents MUST be written in English or French.

1. Logopedic assessment less than 3 years old if the assessment was performed before the age of 18; less than 5 years old if it was performed after the age of 18 and includes the results of the tests performed. The filing date of the application is the date on which the delay is calculated.
2. If possible: document(s) mentioning the accommodations obtained during your previous training, if you benefited from them (to be requested, if necessary, from your former institution).

The logopedic report is examined by the UNIGE's Logopedic Consultation and deemed to be complete or incomplete in order to decide on the granting of accommodation measures. The examination report must contain the results of the tests carried out and present arguments based on a qualitative and quantitative assessment appropriate to the age and educational level of the student and compatible with the diagnostic criteria for learning disabilities.

In the case of an incomplete logopedic report, an additional assessment must be carried out. This can be done at the University's Logopedic Consultation, via the online application form. The costs are to be paid by the student and invoiced by the Logopedic Consultation as follows:

• analysis of the file: CHF 65.00
• complete check-up: CHF 400
• additional balance sheet: CHF 130/hour

• If your disability is significant, apply in the spring prior to your admission to the University.
• The doctor, the psychologist and the Evaluation Commission respect confidentiality. No information related to your disability will be transmitted to your Faculty.
• If your file is incomplete by the deadline, your application is automatically archived. If you would like an accommodation for the next exam session or course period, you must go through the entire process again, i.e., complete an online application and attach the necessary documents.
• Your application is valid for the entire duration of your Bachelor's or Master's degree course at the same faculty, unless you have been notified of another duration.
• If you change faculties, you must submit a new application by following all the steps and respecting the deadlines mentioned.
• If you have benefited from the Bachelor's program and wish to continue your training with a Master's degree, you must submit a new application by following all the steps and respecting the deadlines mentioned.
