Change of the Uni-ID for first name changes according to the Transsexual Act (TSG)
We are happy to help transient people adapt their data for the Identity Management.
Prerequisite for this is
- Official change of name in your identity documents by the responsible registry office
- Change of name in the student administration for students and in the HR department for staff.
You can then change your Uni-ID.
Requirements:
- Send a letter to the IdM by post with the "Change of Uni-ID in case of first name change according to TSG".
- Attach a copy of your current Student ID (students)/ a black and white copy of an official photo ID (all others) with the new name.
The transient person will receive a new Uni-ID, which is based on the new name. The desired e-mail aliases can then be entered in the IdM by the user.
After the request has been processed, the change will take about 1-2 days.
Important!
- When you change the Uni-ID, a new Uni-ID is created and the old one is deleted.
- When the Uni-ID is changed, all linked data such as e-mails and data of the old Uni-ID is deleted. If these are still needed, save them first and transfer them later to the new Uni-ID - the IT-Helpdesk will be happy to help you with any questions you may have.
- If you make a Uni-Id change within the exam period, carry the documents with you for security - some exam lists are compiled on the basis of the Uni-IDs.
Note on eCampus
On the eCampus learning platform, personal data and access to all courses and groups, including learning content, are lost when the Uni-ID is changed. Course and group memberships for BASIS courses can be restored manually by the eCampus Support upon request.
Content created or uploaded under the old Uni-ID (files, tests, answers, wiki pages, forum posts, etc.) remain in the learning platform when the Uni-ID is changed, but cannot be be rewritten to the new Uni-ID. In these cases, access cannot be restored.
After setting up the new Uni-ID, please contact eCampus Support to restore course and group memberships for BASIS courses on eCampus.
