Quick Start Guide for First Semester Students

Congratulations on your decision to study at the University of Kassel! Here are the three most important steps you should definitely take care of right after admission:

This is important at the start of the study:

  1. activate your UniAccount
  2. redirect your e-mail address
  3. get to know the CampusCard

UniAccount

Your UniAccount is your digital identity and thus the central access to all IT services of the university. You can manage your password and aditional services such as software licenses and mail adresses in the Identity Manager (IDM).

E-Mail

Coupled with your UniAccount you will receive an e-mail address with an initial 2 gigabytes of storage space. The login is your UK ID.
