Account & Login User account How do I register? Applicants: As an applicant who does not yet hold an account at TUM you initially work with an applicant account using a self-defined user name (your private e-mail address) and a self-defined password. This allows you to take the first steps to submitting your application to study at TUM. When you accept your place at the university, your applicant account is automatically replaced by a TUM user account which you can continue to use as an applicant with the same user name and password. This user account is now equivalent to a student account, though your status is not that of a student until you actually enroll. Students: As a student you can use your TUM-Kennung (combination of letters and numbers, e.g. gu27cat) or one of your TUM e-mail addresses as a user name to log into the TUMonline system below for information on TUM e-mail addresses). (see below chapter E-Mail ) Please note: For some other IT systems at TUM you can only use some of the above user names. For example the Exchange System Webmailer (https://xmail.mwn.de) only accepts the TUM-Kennung (e.g. gu27cat). Log on www.campus.tum.de by clicking on the login-button at the top right, then enter your user name and self-defined password. How can I change my username or password? You can change your TUM e-mail address, which can be used as a user name, in the application E-mail Addresses in your TUMonline business card.
