As of February 2026, the Cité universitaire de Genève will become an entirely non-smoking facility. Smoking will be prohibited in all private and common areas of the residence. Individuals who wish to smoke will be required to go outside, at the base of the buildings.

Starting from February 2026, the Cité universitaire de Genève will introduce, on a pilot basis, two shared apartments with four bedrooms each, reserved exclusively for women. These shared apartments will operate under specific regulations, including the complete absence of any male presence, during both daytime and nighttime hours. The terms of the project may evolve depending on feedback from the residents involved.

The registration portal for the 2026 Fall semester will open on Sunday March, 1st, 2026 !

You can submit your application online until May 31st, 2026.

Thanks to donations from departing residents, we have set up a Recycling Station. This allows new residents to reuse dishes and various household items as part of an anti-waste initiative. These items are available free of charge; however, availability depends solely on the number of donations received. We do not collect bedding, towels, or food. Please contact Reception to access our Recycling Station.
