Central Viadrina Account and Student ID Card

Or, in short, "Student Account" (central Viadrina account, issued by the ImaAmt and the IKMZ upon enrolment)
Each student receives their personal login details for their central student account along with their enrolment documents.

These personal login details (username and password) are the standard login credentials for the following IT services:

  • Access to your own email inbox (OWA),
  • This is also where your login details (including regular password changes) are managed!
  • Logging in to viaCampus, the HISinOne portal
  • Logging in to the LMS Moodle (the central e-learning system)
  • Access to the Wi-Fi via eduroam
  • VPN access to the university network

Please note that you may only use your personal login details (username and password) exclusively to log in to university systems. These details must not be shared with third parties (apps on your smartphone, service providers), as this could cause significant harm to you, the university and possibly your fellow students.
