The Selfservice is one of the first applications used by newcomers to the RWTH – whether students or employees. Since you will encounter and use the Selfservice again and again, we explain in two articles how and for what you can use it.
First of all, it is important to know how you can access the Selfservice and where you can find it.
Via the link https://www.rwth-aachen.de/selfservice you can access the Selfservice using the RWTH Single Sign-On. Here you need the user name (in the form ab123456) and the corresponding password to log in. If you are using the Selfservice for the first time, you have received the password in the ConnectMe link procedure.

You will find the personal acceptance point at the IT Center Seffenter Weg 23, at the upper entrance.

Currently the Chat Support is available for you from Monday to Friday between 07:30am and 06:00pm.

Umsatteln auf HomeOffice – Eine Herausforderung auch für Netzkapazitäten

Source: Unsplash
Besondere Maßnahmen, wie etwa die Umstellung auf situative mobile Heimarbeit (smH)- auch gerne als HomeOffice bezeichnet, ziehen besondere Herausforderungen nach sich. Das betrifft auch die IT-Infrastruktur. Neben einem verlässlichen VPN-Service ist aber ohne Internetverbindung nichts möglich – schon gar nicht bei der Arbeit von Zuhause.
Heute erzählen wir Euch, was sich bei der Umstellung auf die Arbeit von zu Hause in Sachen Netzkapazitäten gerade zu Beginn der Umstellung an der RWTH getan hat. An dieser Stelle gilt unser Dank unseren IT Center-Kolleginnen und -Kollegen der Abteilung Netze, die uns auch hier wieder unterstützt haben.
