E-mail address and online services
Necessary first steps
When you start your studies at HAW Hamburg, you will receive your own HAW e-mail address, which we will use to communicate with you throughout your studies, as well as access to numerous services and offers.
Below we explain the steps you need to take to use all of these services:
1. Activation of your HAW account / M365
This allows you to use not only your e-mail address, but also a comprehensive MS Office package. The M365 login procedure also gives you access to the Moodle learning platform and free access to Sophos antivirus software. We strongly recommend that you protect your computers with the antivirus software.
This is done at: www.office.com
Your temporary password is composed as follows:
HAW, year of birth, month of birth, date of birth, first letter of place of birth (lower case)
Example: 23 September 2003 in Köln --> HAW20030923k
Here you will find step-by-step instructions for activating your HAW account / M365
2. Setting up an additional login procedure (SSO)
To be able to use other online services (myHAW, WLAN etc.), you must set up a second login procedure. The single sign-on service works with the same HAW ID and password as when logging in via M365. However, you will need an additional second factor.
3. Set up your Eduroam WLAN via the Easyroam app
With the Eduroam WLAN, you can use WLAN free of charge at HAW Hamburg as well as at other universities. The setup works via the Easyroam app. The prerequisite for this is a login via the single sign-on service (SSO service).
