Where do I need to log in?

RZ-Account, ELO, WebUntis, SSP ... Sounds really more complicated than it is! And you only need one user ID (also known as RZ login data or "RZ-Kennung"). With it you can access many different portals of the OTH Regensburg. For instructions on how to download the RZ login data, please check your enrolment documents and/or the info sheet for first semester students.

OTH student ID card

In addition to all the digital access, you also get a very important physical one! Your OTH Student ID card is so much more than just a student ID: You use it to pay for your food in the cafeteria, borrow books from the library, attend sports classes, and use public transportation in and around Regensburg for free. Always remember: In order to use all functions, the card must be revalidated at the beginning of each semester. The short explanatory video shows you how this works and what the card can do.
