Name Change
Name in Identity Management
Names are always entered into the account management as they appear in the official documents (identity card, passport).
My name changed
- Have the name changed in the applicable databases. E.g. in the students registry (students Office), in the employees database (Referat 05) and in the phone registry (Derzennat 5). The change will propagate into the identity management automatically, though it may take up to a few weeks. You can check in the onlinetools: "Ihre Daten im Identity Management ansehen".
- As soon as the new name is registered in the identity management , you can generate your own e-mail alias name with your new name in the onlinetools. In this way you can use a different e-mail address than the one resulting from your user name.
- It is not possible to change the user name.
Can I authorize third parties to collect my Uni account data?
Can I authorize third parties to collect my Uni account data?
Yes, if in exceptional cases (e.g. accident, hospitalisation, employment abroad) you are unable to collect your data personally, it is possible to have your university account data (user name and password) collected by an authorised person.
The authorised person must be mentioned by name in a power of attorney issued by you personally and must carry a suitable document to confirm its identity (passport, identity card).
You will also need a copy of a valid identity card and proof of your affiliation with the university (e.g. staff identity card, student identity card, guest or secondary listening licence, etc.).
Please make sure that all documents are clearly legible and that the power of attorney is signed by you personally.
