But how do you contact us?
Of course, in the way that is most convenient for you. Either via our chat support, by mail, by phone or via our ticket portal.
In order for you to be able to report in any way you want and at the same time for us to be able to handle any incoming request efficiently and with high quality, the Omnichannel tool was introduced.
And now we are celebrating the two-year anniversary of this tool. Thanks to this tool, for the past two years we have been able to manage customer requests more easily and efficiently, as we now have them from chat and phone bundled in one system.

These access points broadcast one or more SSID’s, which the devices can connect with and thus get internet access. The term SSID stands for Service Set Identifier and is simply the name of a WLAN network. RWTH offers many SSID’s such as:
- eduroam for students, employees and guests of participating institutes
- RWTH-guests for quests without an eduroam identification
- RWTH-devices for IoT devices, e.g. measuring instruments and sensors
