Request an external account

This service is available for staff members.

External accounts are enabled for the timeframe of one year and can get renewed if necessary.

When a new external account is created by uniIT, an initial password is set, which must be changed by the account user within a certain time frame.
The initial password is redeemed with an active connection to the university network (on campus or via VPN).
The password is valid for 360 days.

Attention: For external access to the IT services, it is necessary to set up multifactor authentication (MFA) and an active VPN connection.
