++ Update ++ From November 14: Change of e-mail addresses for students

From November 14, 2024, all HfMDK Frankfurt students will receive a personal university email address. You can find an overview of everything you need to know about the changeover here.

Update from November 13, 2024:

• The new HfMDK email addresses will be gradually made available to students from 14 November 2024. The IT department will send you your individual HfMDK email address with information on how to use it. You are welcome to set up and use your HfMDK email account from this point onwards.
• Your HfMDK email address will become the official correspondence address at a later date. We will inform you of this in good time. You will receive information at your private email address until then.
• From November 21, 2024, you will need the HfMDK email address in order to use the photocopiers. You will only be able to top up your account using your HfMDK email address. We will send you a separate email with instructions on how to top up. The instructions will also be provided in the photocopying rooms.

News from October 31, 2024:

What does the e-mail address look like?

Your e-mail address will have the format "firstname.lastname@students.hfmdk-frankfurt.de".

What will be sent to this e-mail address?

In future, all official university communications, e.g. from the Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office or the departments, will be sent exclusively to this address. The new university e-mail address will make communication between you and the HfMDK more secure and clearer, as you will find all university information in one mailbox.

What else do I need the e-mail address for?

The university e-mail address is also necessary in order to be able to make full use of the following HfMDK services in future, including

• Printing, copying and scanning (chargeable credit top-up)
• Use of the library systems
• Download of campus software licenses

Additional functions will be integrated in a further step:

• In future, your new e-mail address will be stored in the "AcademyFIVE" campus management system as your primary contact address, making the administration of your study matters even more effective and secure.

What do I have to do?

The IT department will set up your e-mail inbox for you. Your future HfMDK e-mail address and the associated information will be sent to your private e-mail address in good time before the changeover date. From this point on, please check your new university e-mail inbox regularly so that you do not miss any important information.

Can I get help if something doesn't work during the changeover?

We will provide you with detailed instructions so that you can access your new e-mail inbox without any problems and are also available to answer your questions personally.
