For employees
Starting in December 2025, employees will automatically have an M365 account at UHH with their user ID.
It is a cloud-based web service and serves the purpose of collaboration and communication in research and teaching.
Access is valid for as long as the user ID is valid,
i.e., until the last day of employment at UHH (or the end of UHH's contract with Microsoft).
In addition to employees, the group of employees in the broader sense also includes all groups of people who are not exclusively students. This includes, among others, groups of people who have applied for an ID.
University teaching
Microsoft offers training courses for teachers: Microsoft 365 Education in Teaching.
Collaboration and project work
You can also invite external colleagues to join your team or project as guests.
Guest account with another organization
As a member of the UHH with a full M365 account at the UHH, you may be invited to view content by people in other organizations, such as the City of Hamburg.
For many, this has resulted in a guest account being created there. This guest account with the other organization has the same name as the email address you used to log in there for the first time.
If you have a problem accessing your user ID after the account changeover in 2025, please contact rrz-serviceline"AT"uni-hamburg.de.
We are working on eliminating the need for an additional account.
