Starting your studies

What should I prepare?

RZ-Account, ELO, WebUntis, SSP ... Sounds really more complicated than it is! And you only need one user ID. With it you can access many different portals of the OTH Regensburg. You already have the access authorization in your hand: It is in the documents you received when you enrolled.

So, quickly activate your account, then validate your OTH Regensburg card - and you are ready to go! Still sounds complicated? In the following, all important steps are clearly described once again.

Data centre identifier

The computer centre (RZ) ID is your door opener to the digital world of OTH Regensburg. So the very first thing you need to do is activate your personal account. You will find all relevant data in your enrolment documents. Further information is available from the computer centre:

WebUntis

When do I have which course with whom? The interactive timetable system WebUntis tells you! You can also register for various courses here - and see whether you have been given a place or are still on the waiting list.

OTH app

And another helpful app: The OTH app bundles practical university-wide news, important events, lecture dates, celebrations, the cafeteria plan ... You decide what interests you and always stay informed via newsfeed.

In the SSP, your student service portal, you can manage a lot of your data yourself as a student. Change of address? Exam registration? Downloading your matriculation certificate? It's all in one digital place!

ELO

ELO is the e-learning platform of the OTH Regensburg. If a lecture takes place virtually, you meet your course and your lecturers here. The recordings of the events are also secured for you here. Why not start right away with the info course for first year students!

ELO

Zoom

You can take part in virtual lectures simply and conveniently via Zoom. So download the app to your computer, tablet and/or smartphone right away. You also have convenient access to Zoom via your RZ ID using single sign-on (SSO).

OTH Student ID card

In addition to all the digital access, you also get a very important physical one! Your OTH Student ID card is so much more than just a student ID: You use it to pay for your food in the cafeteria, borrow books from the library, attend sports classes, and use public transportation in and around Regensburg for free. Always remember: In order to use all functions, the card must be revalidated at the beginning of each semester. The short explanatory video shows you how this works and what the card can do.
