SchoolsIT Service

Generally, there are two accesses to the university network with which you can receive different services. You will receive both accounts with your enrolment documents.

  • Central university account
  • Faculty account

With these accounts you can use almost all public computers at the university, as well as the WLAN and other services.

University account
  • Consists of e-mail address and password.
  • Used for using the university e-mail, the Student Services machines, access to learning systems such as ILIAS and Lon-Capa.
  • The account is managed by the Centre for Information and Communication (ZIK). 
Faculty account
  • Login like university account (e-mail address). Alternatively, the short login is to be preferred when using the laboratories and the university printing service.
    • The composition of the short login:

        • sw=Student Economics,
