Access after accepting a place of study

  • After accepting a place of study, the applicant account is automatically converted into a student account. You will be informed about this process by e-mail. This means that your account now offers more possibilities (e.g. use of IT services even before enrollment, creation of a TUM e-mail address).

  • You can now create a TUM e-mail address which you can also use as a user name for TUMonline.

Students

  • As a student of TUM a student account will be automatically created for you.
  • When you start at TUM you will also receive a 7-digit TUM ID in a certain format, e.g. gu27cat. The TUM identifier is unchangeable and, in conjunction with the ending @mytum.de, automatically becomes your user name in the form of an e-mail address (e.g. gu27cat@mytum.de).

To log in as a student, go to the registration page of TUMonline (https://campus.tum.de).

There log in with your user name, your TUM e-mail address (e.g. max.mustermann@tum.de) or TUM ID (e.g. gu27cat) and your chosen password:

Staff and guests

As a requirement for creating an account you need at least one of the following relationship types with an organization (i.e. organizational units like departments, institutes, faculties, etc.) of TUM:

  • an active employment with the organization.
  • an active other legal relationship (e.g. lecturer, doctoral student, guest, ...) with the organization, which is created using the guest administration in TUMonline.
  • an active function in the organization.

The employment relationship as well as the master data of the person in TUMonline are entered in the personnel department (SAP/HR) and can only be changed there.

As a staff member you will automatically receive a staff account with your employment. This account is created by the human resources department (SAP/HR) and then automatically transferred to TUMonline.

Guests receive their guest user account via the TUMonline guest administrator of their organization.
