Service Point IT Department IWK

Welcome to the IT network of the university and the Department of Engineering and Communication

First of all, please activate your account at https://mia.h-brs.de/sspr/public/activate by entering your matriculation number and date of birth.
(If you have any problems with activation, please send a message to [email protected]. Currently, you cannot access the university's various IT systems with a standardised password, but need different passwords and user names.)

You will receive a department abbreviation via MIA, which consists of the 1 letter of your first name and the first 5 letters of your surname and the ending "3s" (vnnnnn3s - Thomas Mustermann would have the abbreviation tmuste3s.) If the name is the same, the fifth letter of the surname is replaced by a number, e.g. vnnnn13s, vnnnn23s, etc.

The best way to change the password for the PC, e-mail and WLAN is via the MIA website https://mia.h-brs.de/, as this also changes the password for connected services. Currently, this does NOT change the password for LEA or SIS access.
(If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it via https://mia.h-brs.de/. However, you must first log in to MIA once and enter a few questions for the password reset)

The password that you assign in MIA applies to the following areas, unless otherwise specified (e.g. SIS, LEA):
 

1. Internal department network

• Application to the laboratory computers in FB03, with your department code and password in the form stud\department code, unless another account is provided by the lecturers.

• If you change the email password, this also affects access to the WLAN and the application on the computers in FB03, as these passwords are identical. Other passwords (SIS, LEA etc.) will not be changed.
