Students majoring in Informatics (or SSE, Computing in Science, Information Systems, IT Management and Consulting, Bioinformatics, etc.) are issued user IDs for study purposes at the Informatics Computing Centre (IRZ) for the duration of their studies.
User IDs are usually created and issued during the Orientation Unit (OU). Those who have not attended the OU will pick up their ID at the System Support Desk in room D-107. In exceptional cases, latecomers or the like may use the User ID form.
By signing an application for a user ID, the student accepts the usage policy!
User IDs for students are generally valid for one semester until the beginning of the next semester (4/30 or 11/30). IDs for students majoring at the Department of Informatics are automatically extended by one semester as soon as the confirmation of re-registration has been received in STiNE. IDs of students who have been de-registered cannot be extended.
Students from other programs can apply for a user account when they need it for courses in Informatics. Such user IDs are not automatically renewed, but can be extended for one additional semester at a time upon presentation of a valid semester certificate at the Student Consultation Office or at the System Support Desk in Room D-107.
Note: For participants of the courses Software Development 1 and 2 and Foundations of Databases, the user IDs are usually created in advance and issued during the exercises.

Structure of the user ID for students
The user ID is composed of the last digit of the year of study as prefix and a maximum of 7 additional characters of the last name. If the name is the same, the first letters of the first name are also used.
