IT checklist for new students at the University of Bonn IT checklist for new students at the University of Bonn

We welcome all new students at the University of Bonn! As the University IT and Data Center (HRZ) of the university, we manage the central IT services, which you can access through your studies. 

To make sure that the first weeks run smoothly, we have created a checklist of the most important services that will help you to find your way around Uni Bonn:

1. Activate your Uni-ID on gosa.gosa.uni-bonn.de, to use all digital services of the university: Your Uni-ID is your unique user name and among others it offers you access to the semester ticket and your lecture and exam registrations.
2. Download the Uni-Bonn app, to always have your student ID, the semester ticket, the library card and the cantine menus on hand.
3. Set up your email account to conveniently receive your mails on your smartphone and laptop.
4. Configure Eduroam and VPN to access wifi across the campus and to read all academic journals.
5. Create a Sciebo account at hochschulcloud.nrw to be able to manage your data in the university cloud.

Besides all of these essential services, we offer other services that might be helpful to your studies.
