Guest accounts need a supervisor. Employees of the University Paderborn can create guest accounts and manage them.

What needs to be done?[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  1. Find a supervisor for your Uni-Account
  2. Register Uni-Account
  3. 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.
