Frequently asked questions

The period of validity of all user accounts depends on the respective entry and exit dates to and from the university.

The status of your account is updated automatically

For employees:
For employees, civil servants and hiwis, the period of validity corresponds to your contract period. After the end of your contract, your account will be automatically blocked. A manual extension of the validity is not possible. If desired, a host institute can apply for a limited guest account for you after your contract period.

For students:
User accounts of students are always valid until the end of the semester. They are automatically extended by one semester upon re-registration. If there is no re-registration or de-registration, the account is automatically blocked and deleted after a grace period (currently 8 months). It is not possible to extend the validity manually.

For guests:
The period of validity of guest accounts is determined at the time of application (max. 2 years). It can be extended at the request of the host institute. The account is automatically blocked after the validity period has expired.



For employees and guests:
If you would like to know your access data, please contact your representative (the contact person) for the user administration of your institute or facility. They are authorized to print out your access data letter and hand it over to you as well as reset your password and unlock your account if necessary.

For students:
After creating an applicant account and after enrolment, students receive their access data via
C@MPUS.
