Please note

After redeeming a ConnectMe coupon for initial activation, the personal data fields are initially displayed as "unbekannt/unknown". You do not need to take any further action. The data will automatically be synchronized and corrected within 48 hours.

You can access and partly edit your Identity Management data in the IdM Selfservice.

Step 1
Login via RWTH Single Sign-On. Your username is in the format ab123456.

Step 2
After logging in, you will see your personal data.

Step 3
Click on the pencil symbol next to a field to edit it.

If there is no pencil symbol, you cannot edit the data yourself. Instead, you need to contact the responsible department.
