Service and support overview of the Information Center

First things first

Access (HFT account)

Access / Login:

In order to use the services offered by the Information Center as well as many other IT services of the university, you almost always need an account (login) of the Hochschule für Technik.

Your login information for the IT systems of the HFT will be created no later than 3 working days after your successful enrollment. You can retrieve your login information from a notice the campus and application portal (https://campus.hft-stuttgart.de). The login information consists of user name and password. It is mandatory to reset the password immediately (via https://mail.hft-stuttgart.de).

Without this initial password change, you will not be able to log into any other HFT IT system.

This is straightforward and you will be guided by the system (instructions).

The login details (username and password) for the following applications: Moodle, LSF, Confluence, Campus and Zoom account are the same as for your HFT mail account.

MFA Authentifizierung

Important note

For most HFT services and instructions, you will need to set up a multi-factor authentication!

You can only do this on site at the HFT!

See instructions:

Zoom Account

If you need a Zoom account, you can log in to Zoom via SSO using you HFT email address and your university credentials (user name and password).

You can also find instructions under Zoom instructions

This will create your Zoom account and make it active right away.
