What is the student ID and what do I need it for?

Master password

In order to be able to use all the functions of your university ID code, you first need to change your master password. You should always keep your master password in a safe place, as you might need it later on if, for example, you forget your current password.

E-mail address

Your student email address consists of your personal university ID code and the ending ‘@stud.uni-saarland.de’. This email address is valid as long as you are enrolled and is very important as it is used to communicate crucial information on study-related topics, such as deadlines and dates. We also send your iTan numbers (see below) to this email address.

In order to use the webmail service, you need to change your password regularly. Whenever a change of password is required, you will be informed in good time. You can also redirect the incoming emails to your private email account. More information is available on the email services website.

LSF-POS portal

In the LSF-POS student portal you will find, among other things, the online course catalogue and the examination administration, where you can view your grades. You can also print out iTan lists here (see below). To access the portal, simply enter your university ID code (not the applicant number) and the current password.

iTan

You need iTans to register for examinations in the LSF-POS portal. Once you’re enrolled, two iTan numbers will be sent to your student email address. You can use these numbers to generate your first iTan list. More information and FAQs on iTAN management are available here.
