IT for the start of your studies
The Media and Information Centre (MIZ) welcomes you to the Leuphana University Lüneburg! On this page we inform you about the most important IT services of the MIZ.
For more information, contact persons and step-by-step instructions on how to get started with the most important services, we also recommend that you take a look at our brochure "The IT Services of Leuphana".
Further information for first-year students on library services can be found here: www.leuphana.de/en/services/miz/information-for/first-year-students.html
Accounts
Leuphana account
Your Leuphana account will be assigned upon your enrolment. You will receive the user name (starting with lg...) and an initial password with your enrolment documents, which you can use to activate your account in our self-service portal (myaccount.leuphana.de). The Leuphana account is used for authentication for most IT services of the MIZ (see below).
myStudy account (College and Graduate School only)
myStudy is the online portal for your studies. Here you can manage your timetable, register for courses and communicate with your teachers. In the near future, you will be able to use your Leuphana account (see above) for myStudy. Until the changeover, you use a myStudy-specific account which you can set up directly on the website (mystudy.leuphana.de/portal/home?setLocale=en_GB). You need access to your Leuphana email address to verify the account, so after activating your Leuphana account, first familiarise yourself with the use of your email address and then set up your myStudy account. You also log into the Moodle learning platform (moodle.leuphana.de/?lang=en) with the login details of your myStudy account.
Library account
To obtain a user card and a library account, you first register online (www.leuphana.de/en/services/miz/work-and-study/online-registration/registration-form.html) and then appear in person at the library service desk to get your card. This ID is also called the Leuphana Card. You can further use it to pay in the cafeteria, to pay for printouts or to borrow equipment from the media lending service. The number of the Leuphana Card (311...) is the user name of your library account, your 6-digit date of birth is the password.
You will receive your Leuphana Card during the Opening Week from your Opening Week Tutor. If you need the card beforehand or were not present during the Opening Week, you will alternatively receive the Leuphana Card when you register in the library. If you are studying for a Master's degree, you will also receive the card when you register in the library. The card is issued against a deposit of € 10.00.
