E-mail access and the LFU:online study platform »
After the admission process you will be given your own username and password for the Universität Innsbruck’s IT services (e-mail account, LFU:online, eCampus). Via LFU:online you can print out documents such as registration confirmations and admission records, find out more about the courses available, sign up for lectures, fill in online applications and check your exam results. The platform also provides an overview of the student records kept by the university. Therefore, it is important that you keep your password secret at all times.
When first admitted as a student at an Austrian university or college of education you will receive a registration number which is on all university documents and must be used when applying for admission to any university in Austria.
Paying the Austrian Students' Union fee and/or tuition fee »
With your registration number you will receive your student card. The Austrian Students’ Union fee and/or tuition fee must be paid when registering to study via:
- bank transfer (please ask for the bank-slip with all the data)
- bank card
Once the fee has been paid a date will be automatically printed onto the student card. This is the date until which the student card is valid.
