It is time! We have been waiting for this for a long time and could hardly wait. We have designed, developed, tested, optimized and asked for your feedback. IT Center Help is now officially the new documentation platform of the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. Here you can find all information about the IT Center Services, instructions for applications for study and teaching and much more.
With the Go Live of IT Center Help we also say goodbye to our documentation portal doc.itc.rwth-aachen.de. For more than six years, we have been providing information about IT Center Services and instructions for you here.
Now we want to support you with IT Center Help on a new page with a modern look and a user-friendly interface in the matter of IT services.

GitLab is a version management system that allows you to version software and web projects. Developers can store and document versions of their code here. You can then organize, host, and manage them in digital archives. This is why GitLab is often referred to as a Version Control System, or VCS for short.

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.
