Checklist for first semester BSc students

a.) Checklist for German-speaking Bachelor students (BSc Applied Biology, Chemistry with Materials Science and Natural Science Forensics):

⇒ Step 1: Self-registration on MIA

To find out your login details for central university services, you must first complete a self-registration on MIA. You will need your student ID card for this.

During the process, you will be asked to assign a password. You will also be given your login ID (the so-called department code - for example mmuste1s). With your department code and MIA password, you will then have access to MIA, your OWA university e-mail address and other university services.

Be sure to make a note of your department code and MIA password during the process!

Link for self-registration on MIA: https://mia.h-brs.de/sspr/public/activate

⇒ Step 2: Set up/retrieve e-mail account etc. via the central mail server for students

Upon enrolment, all students at the university are given email access.
Important: In order to gain access to their e-mail account, new students at H-BRS must first complete a self-registration on MIA (see step 1).

Login: Department abbreviation (mmuste5s)+ self-assigned password via MIA

Link to the mail server: https://owa.stud.h-brs.de/

You can be reached at the following e-mail address: vorname.name@smail.bcw.h-brs.de

⇒ Step 3: Access LEA (central teaching and learning platform of the university)

Login with: Department code (mmuste5s) + MIA password

The platform gives you access to teaching materials for your degree programme (e.g. important information for first semester students, current information, lecturers' slide sets, exercise sheets).

⇒ Step 5: Buying a lab coat

For your lab work you’ll need a lab coat. Make sure to get one in time! 
Please independently obtain a long-sleeved lab coat with a cotton content in the fabric of at least 35% (100% cotton is even better) by the beginning of the semester.

⇒ Step 6: Apply for access to Student Information System SIS

In SIS  you will find important study-related information (certificate of enrolment, re-registration, transcript, etc.) and you may register for exams

Important note: To get your SIS password, you first have to click on "Apply for Access ?" on the SIS homepage. An initial password will then be sent to your student e-mail inbox.

Access: department code + requested SIS password

Note: For borrowing media in the library you need a 4-digit PIN, which you can set yourself in Bib-Discover. To use various digital services, the library's remote access must also be set up (proxy setting). Please direct Questions regarding library services to the library or the e-learning team.
