RUB-LoginID
On your matriculation (enrollment) you received a so-called RUB-LoginID. This is a personal identifier (key) for direct access to a number of online services that Ruhr University Bochum offers its students. It starts with the first letters of your last name plus an arbitrary sequence of further letters: Max Mustermann would for example be "mustemf2".
After your matriculation (enrollment), you must set a password for this RUB LoginID by
- clicking on this link
- set a new password via "Wissen Sie Ihr Passwort nicht?" → “Passwort setzen / zurücksetzen” (“set/reset password”)
- Please also read the Informationen & Anleitungen zur 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung ("information & instructions on 2-factor authentication").
Store all information about your RUB LoginID and password in a safe place. You will use the data frequently during your studies.
Email address
When you matriculated (enrolled), you received an e-mail address from Ruhr University Bochum. It plays a central role in your studies, as it is used for almost all correspondence with you from lecturers, the Registrar's Office and the examinations office.
It follows the format “First name.Last name@edu.ruhr-uni-bochum.de”, e.g. John.Doe@edu.ruhr-uni-bochum.de.
You can access your emails via the RUB eCampus. Please note: The login name for retrieving your mails is your LoginID.
