Note: You must activate your account and change the initial password. You can do this via the provisional user administration.

If you have forgotten your password, please contact the Service Desk of the URZ. Your password can be reset to the initial password there.

Note: If the initial password is no longer available, you must visit the URZ in person (Room 3.04 - Mr Frost).

If you already have an account, it will simply continue to run. You don't need to do anything else. Please contact the IT Service Desk (servicedesk [at] tu-freiberg [dot] de).

If you have received a second, additional account, please submit a ticket to the IT Service Desk. We will then combine the two into one.

You can request a guest account for such cases. We will convert your account into a guest account, which will allow you to retain access to your central resources for a certain period of time.

To do this, please send an email to the IT Service Desk (servicedesk [at] tu-freiberg [dot] de).

Eduroam Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus. To make the correct settings on your end device, please follow the corresponding instructions.

You can also access the campus data network on the move (Eduroam or at home). We offer VPN access for this. In our guides you will find help on how to configure access on your end device.
