To access RWTHmoodle, you need a user name at RWTH (e.g. ab123456). This user name is created using a Coupon Procedure.

A current status (e.g. as an employee or active student) is not required to login to RWTHmoodle.

External persons who do not yet have a user name at the RWTH can get a user name via the coupon procedure for partners. Alternatively, people with the role of manager can invite external participants to the course room without a user name via the participant administration. Here, too, a coupon procedure is triggered via which a user name can be created. Unlike the procedure for RWTH partners, this only grants access to RWTHmoodle, not to other RWTH Aachen University services.

In order to access individual course rooms in RWTHmoodle, you need additional authorization for them.

All login procedures in RWTHmoodle for which a user name from the Identity Management of RWTH Aachen (format: ab123456) is used and which are thus carried out via the RWTH Single Sign-On (SSO), the Multifactor-Authentication (MFA) applies. Therefore, a second factor is required for login in additon to username and password.

Bridge courses and other study preparation or orientation courses use special local moodle accounts with a separate login procedure.

1. Account creation for students and employees

To access course rooms in RWTHmoodle, you need an RWTH user name in Identity Management as well as a second factor for Multifactor-Authentication (MFA). This user name is created using a coupon procedure. An authorized institution within RWTH Aachen University issues a coupon, which can be redeemed in ConnectMe to receive the access data.

Students, including registered doctoral candidates, will receive their coupon for creating their access data as part of the RWTHonline application process. They use the Coupon for Students.

Employees who have signed an employment contract with RWTH Aachen University's Department 8 (Human Resources) will receive a coupon by mail or e-mail from the Human Resources Department before they start their employment. The procedure is the same for all members of the UKA. Both groups use the Coupon for Employees.

Students and employees receive a Single Sign-On account after redeeming the coupon which is protected by Multifactor-Authentication (MFA). Therefore, a self-set second factor is required in addition to username and password for the login in RWTHmoodle. After redeeming the coupon, students and employees must first set up the MFA via the Selfservice in order to login to RWTHmoodle.

2. Account creation for externals

External persons who already have a user name at RWTH, for example from a previous study or employment, can log in to RWTHmoodle with this known user name. Current status at RWTH is not required. If you cannot remember your username or password, you can get them back.

External persons, who do not have a user name yet and should get access to RWTHmoodle, can get a required user name via the Coupon for Partner. After receiving the coupon, it can be redeemed online via ConnectMe.

Alternatively, people with the role of manager can invite external participants to the course room without a user name via the participant administration. Here, too, a coupon procedure is triggered via which a user name can be created. Unlike the procedure for RWTH partners, this only authorizes access to RWTHmoodle, not to other RWTH Aachen University services.

 

Note

If there are no contractual regulations, external persons in RWTHmoodle may not be assigned the roles "manager" or "tutor" for reasons of data protection, as this gives them access to student data like name and email address.

Externals receive a Single Sign-On account after redeeming the coupon which is protected by Multifactor-Authentication (MFA). Therefore, a self-set second factor is required in addition to username and password for the login in RWTHmoodle. After redeeming the coupon, externals must first set up the MFA via the Selfservice in order to login to RWTHmoodle. This also applies to persons who already have a username at RWTH Aachen.

3. Bridge courses and other study preparation or orientation courses
