STiNE

If you attend your OU, you can quickly skim through or skip this page, as we will thoroughly go through these steps together during the OU.

STiNE is short for "Studieninfonetz" (German for studying information network).

You have probably already encountered STiNE during your application process at the University of Hamburg. You used a temporary attendee's account there. In this section, we will activate your actual student STiNE account, which you will need for the following things:

• Registering for and unregistering from courses/modules
• Registering for and unregistering from exams
• Receiving notifications from your lecturers
• Accessing your automatically created class schedule
• Accessing exam results
• Viewing your study results
• Accessing important course material (more commonly done via Moodle these days)

STiNE is your interface to almost anything academics-related at the University of Hamburg.
The majority of services that we introduce in this guide are directly or indirectly linked to your STiNE account.

Once your account is activated, you can log in to STiNE (www.stine.uni-hamburg.de). The most important tab is "Studying" where you can, e.g., register for modules. However, we will show you which modules you should sign up for and how to do this in the Orientation Unit. You can take a look around the website, but please don't do anything you are not absolutely sure about.
During the OU, we will explicitly go into how to sign up for modules. Therefore, we recommend you not to do that beforehand.

For now, you click on the tab "Account" and ensure (via the "Change" button if necessary) that "Forward messages to uni-mail-account?" is checked. Lecturers do, at times, send relevant messages regarding lectures or exams via STiNE and might do so shortly before the start of that lecture or exam. You probably don't want to miss these kinds of messages.
