Guest accounts need a supervisor. Employees of the University Paderborn can create guest accounts and manage them.
Supervisors are responsible for the guest accounts they issue, including their renewal, transfer, etc.
Authorization[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- There is no “general” authorization for guest access
- A library card does not entitle you to guest access
What needs to be done?[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Find a supervisor for your Uni-Account
- Register Uni-Account
- Choose username and password
Information for guests[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
You can ask employees of the University Paderborn to provide you with a temporary guest account. You will get an activation link. Via the Serviceportal, you can create your Uni-Account.
There are two available options:
- Create a new account
- Register existing account as guest (if you already have an account)
The creation of the university account itself will be done step by step. An online form will tell you precisely which information you need to enter or confirm. In the procress, username and password will be created.
You can choose your own username, but certain conditions must be met. The username will be part of your University e-mail address - So choose wisely.
username@mail.uni-paderborn.de
If you already have an Uni-Account, supervisors can provide them with a guest role. This may be useful, if you are no longer a student or employee of the University Paderborn but want to keep your Uni-Account.
Information for supervisors[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Employees of the Unversity Paderborn can register users themselves in context of research and teaching. As supervisors they decide how long the guest account is available.

Students from other universities who are carrying out a project at the University of Paderborn, e. g. a bachelor’s thesis, or who are cooperating with a chair at the University of Paderborn, should contact the supervising working group to apply for a guest account.
No Uni-Account is created for the library services. These services can only be used on site in the library. Furthermore, Wi-Fi can only be used via eduroam.
