IT for students

Ready for your studies

Welcome!

This guide provides you with an initial overview of the services that the RHRZ offers specifically for students.

Whether you want to use the Wi-Fi on campus, read emails, take part in digital lectures or print something - here you will not only find the most important services, but also detailed information and instructions on our services.

If you have any IT-related questions or problems, you can contact support at any time - by phone, email or in person at one of the two RZ Service Centers.

RZ Service Center


The most important services at a glance

RPTU account

The RPTU account is a personal user account provided to all students by the RHRZ. This account gives you access to all IT services offered by RPTU at both locations. This account not only gives you access to your e-mails and WLAN access, but also to a variety of special online resources and applications.

Example:
Account: mus77ter
Email:mus77ter@rptu.de
E-mail alias: auswahl@edu.rptu.de

Account management:

e-mail

During their studies, all students receive their own mailbox. The e-mail address serves as the university's official communication channel through which important information and notifications are sent. It is therefore recommended that you check your mailbox regularly so that important information and notifications are not read too late!

In addition to the account address, you can select an e-mail alias in the account administration. An e-mail alias is an alternative address that refers to the same mailbox - messages that are sent to the alias therefore end up in the same mailbox.



Retrieval options:

Study administration

To manage your studies, each campus currently has its own administration program. In these administration programs you can

  • view the course catalog
  • create your timetable
  • look up information on re-registration
  • register or deregister for examinations
  • view your grade overview

E-learning

OLAT is the central learning management system (LMS) at RPTU. On this platform you will find assignments and exercises for your selected courses, as well as further information on this module or course. OLAT is not maintained by the Computer Center - if you have any questions about these platforms, please contact the units responsible for them.


 

WLAN and VPN

WLAN reception is available in most places at both locations, as well as in the respective branch offices. You can use the "eduroam" network with your RPTU account. Please note that you need to configure your end device to use Eduroam!

You need the VPN, an access to the university network, e.g. to access e-resources (books, journals or research articles) of the library, or to access internal RPTU pages, such as the service portal or QIS.

 

Help with IT problems

The RZ Service Center is your first point of contact for IT problems relating to your studies. We support both students and staff with questions and problems relating to IT services and programs used at RPTU. Our team is there for you personally during opening hours on both campuses - just drop by or give us a call.

 

We are happy to help!
