| + | === Do I have to use the UPB-App? === | ||
| + | Paderborn University is endeavouring to make as many applications and services relating to campus life as possible easily accessible. The UPB-App is a first attempt in this direction by combining various applications and making them available on mobile devices. You can still use all functions as usual via the browser if you prefer. There are alternative solutions for self-printing ID cards (see chapter "ID card function"). | ||
| + | |||
| + | === I don't want to create an account in one of the app stores, how can I still download the UPB-App? === | ||
| + | The UPB-App is currently only available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We are already working on a solution to make the app available to you without the app store. We will inform you here as soon as we have any news in this regard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Who is the provider of the UPB-App? === | ||
| + | The UPB-App is offered in cooperation with the external service provider UniNow. UniNow is a spin-off of the University of Magdeburg and works with more than 80 universities. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Do I have to register with UniNow to be able to use the app? === | ||
| + | No, you do not need to create a UniNow account to use the UPB-App. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Do I have to log in to the UPB-App? === | ||
| + | To be able to use the ID card function and the mail link, you must log in to the UPB-App with your university account. You can also access functions such as the newsfeed, canteen menus and link collections without logging in. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Do I still need the PAUL-App at all? === | ||
| + | The UPB-App has a different range of functions to the PAUL-App. So far, it is only possible to link your PAUL calendar to the UPB-App calendar on a monthly basis. Other links to the campus management system within the UPB-App may still be expanded. We will inform you here as soon as there is news in this regard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Can I use the UPB-App to register for exams and attend courses? === | ||
| + | No, registration for examinations and courses will continue to take place via the PAUL campus management system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Can I retrieve my enrolment certificate via the UPB-App? === | ||
| + | No, you can still download and print out your certificate of enrolment via the PAUL campus management system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === What does "first semester area" mean? === | ||
| + | The first semester section of the UPB-App contains useful information and links for new students at Paderborn University. From the orientation programme to organisational matters to the student councils - you will find the right places to go here. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === What does the "Career" menu item in the app mean? === | ||
| + | Various external vacancies can be found in the "Careers" section. UniNow co-operates with a large number of companies for this purpose. '''This area is not activated by default; activation is not necessary to use the UPB-related functions.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you would still like to activate the module, you must select at least 5 companies that you would like to follow'''. You will then receive newsfeed content and possibly also push notifications from these companies.''' This can be cancelled as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Deactivation of push notifications: Click on the profile picture of the respective company to go to the profile page. Click on the bell to the right of the profile picture to set or completely switch off push notifications for certain content. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Follow company profiles: Click on the profile picture of the respective company to go to the profile page. Click on "Follow me" to the right of the profile picture to unfollow the company. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''The content published by the companies is not connected to Paderborn University.''' As the careers portal in its current form does not meet our expectations of university-internal app use, we are working on a solution to switch it off. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Who publishes articles in the UPB-App feed? === | ||
| + | Paderborn University uses the newsfeed as a channel for internal communication. Here you will receive updates and cross-university information from the central units. All units initially communicate via the "Uni Paderborn" channel (UPB claw as profile picture), which you follow automatically. In emergencies and crisis situations, the university can also send push notifications to all users. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you have any questions about the communication concept, please contact the Press, Communication and Marketing department: | ||
| + | |||
| + | [mailto:pkm@zv.upb.de pkm@zv.upb.de]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Is the UPB-App also available in English? === | ||
| + | You can change the language directly in the app. Click on the hamburger menu at the top right to open the sidebar and select "Language". Here you can choose between German and English. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === How can I report problems? === | ||
| + | If you have problems with the UPB-App, you can report them in two ways: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use the support chat within the app. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In case of problems with the login: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Write an e-mail to [mailto:zim@upb.de zim@upb.de]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == ID card function == | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Where can I find my student ID? === | ||
| + | You can find your student ID in the UPB-App under "My studies" after you have logged in with your university account. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[Digitaler Studierendenausweis]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | === I don't have a smartphone or can't/won't use the app. How do I get my student ID? === | ||
| + | If you do not have a smartphone or your device is temporarily out of order, you can alternatively print out the ID card yourself. To do this, log in to the [http://sp.upb.de/ Serviceportal] and select the menu item "Personal data" under "User administration". On the right-hand side under "User roles" you will find the entry "Student". Click on "Student ID PDF" and your ID will automatically be made available as a PDF. You can download and print it as often as you like. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[Digitaler Studierendenausweis]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Can I use the ID card function without an Internet connection? === | ||

| + | |||
| + | === How do I get my library card? === | ||
| + | In the future, the library card barcode will also be available in the UPB-App. Unfortunately, we do not yet have a release date. | ||
| + | |||
| + | All students in higher semesters can temporarily use the paper library card from the summer semester 2024 or the electronic library card, which the library provides via its catalog, see | ||
| + | |||
| + | * https://blogs.uni-paderborn.de/ub-katalog/2023/12/11/e-ausweis/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | All students who are new to Paderborn University in the winter semester 2024/25 can also use the e-library card immediately. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In either case (e-card or UPB-App), the library card must be activated online before first use. This can be done using the matriculation number. The online activation function can be found on the login page of the library catalog or can be accessed directly here: | ||
