Göttingen University provides an internet account for students which can be used for many services. However, not every person is allowed to have access to the account. The following students receive a regular, free internet account:

• students of Göttingen University

• guest auditors at Göttingen University

After your matriculation you can pick up your account information at the chip card issuing point (in the main lecture hall building). Please bring your ID card or passport together with your certificate of enrolment so that our advisors can check your identity. Then you'll receive your student ID (chip card) and your internet account altogether.

The following students are allowed to receive an external account (costs: 12 Euro per semester):

• students at HAWK (University of Applied Sciences and Arts)

• students at PFH (Private University of Applied Science)

• students at Göttingen university of cooperative education (Berufsakademie)

• students at Göttingen Administrative School

• students at Göttingen university of applied science at DRK (German Red Cross)

• participants of Göttingen University of the Third Age

• (school) students of Institutes in Göttingen

• inhabitants of accomodations of the student service organization (Studentenwerk) (rental fee includes costs for the account)

Persons who would like to receive an external account will have to pay 12 Euros per semester. Since we will accept cash only in exceptional cases, it would be great if you could pay with your student ID or a chip card for guests. To pick up your account information, please bring your authorisation (e. g. student ID of your university, rental agreement of an accomodation of the student service organization etc.) with you to the chip card issuing point (in the main lecture hall building).

If you do not belong to one of the groups above it is possible for you to get a time-restricted guest account at the LRC SUB help desk. With this guest account you will be able to use the computers in the learning resources centres. However, you neither get an e-mail address nor will you be allowed to top-up your print contingent.
