Meet Marjan and Luca.
They are first-semester students at Universität Hamburg.
Whether in class or on campus in general, you may have the feeling that other students are better informed than you are.
Marjan and Luca are starting to get the feeling that they are missing out.
And even worse, the academic office informs Luca that his request can only be processed
if he sends it from his student email account.
Student email account?!
That’s right! There was something about that in the orientation module.
The student email address!
How do you set it up?
It is easily done in just 3 steps.
If you have already activated your uni username for STiNE, go directly to step 2.
Activate your uni username by going to https://bv.uni-hamburg.de/ in your browser.
Log in with your uni username (B-Kennung) and the one-time password.
You received both of these by postal mail with your provisional semester documents
shortly after you accepted your place at the University.
Follow the recommendations in the dialog, and change the password.
Great! Now you can continue.
Now open Surfmail in your browser:
https://surfmail.rrz.uni-hamburg.de
and log in with your uni username and your new password.
Now you can start using your mailbox.
The last and most important step is to connect to your student email account on your smartphone.
Using the mail app of your choice
or on whichever device you want to use to check your emails.
This way, you will always have access to your university emails.
You can find the appropriate instructions for your email client by scanning the QR code.
Never miss a STiNE message!
Log in to your user account in STiNE, and check “Forward messages to uni mail account.”
This ensures you receive a notification directly in your inbox when new messages are posted in STiNE.
So, now you have everything on one platform.
All done! Now, Marjan and Luca can join in
and they will no longer have any issues when communicating within the university.
