Registration for UZH members

A so-called ITIM account is created for members of the UZH (lecturers, students, employees etc.). Students receive a password letter from the UZH administration and instructions on how to set their passwords in the Security Identity Manager for the first time in their profile on the UZH application portal. Employees and Lecturers receive that information prior to their first working day by mail.

Info

Further informatin on how to change your UZH passwords can be found under https://www.zi.uzh.ch/en/support/identity-access/set-password.html and on https://www.zi.uzh.ch/en/support/identity-access/manage-password.html.

If you are facing problems in logging in with your UZH login data, please contact our colleagues from the IT service desk.
