STiNE is Universität Hamburg's campus management system (CampusNet®). Developed by Datenlotsen Informationssysteme GmbH, it serves a variety of functions. STiNE combines all essential teaching and study processes into one single IT platform and database that all those involved in these processes-students, teachers and administrators-are able to access according to their user roles and rights.
Top of pageSTiNE was introduced in the winter semester 2006/07. Students pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree must register for classes via STiNE.
Please note that the functions available to you in STiNE depend on your degree program and examination regulations. Please contact your academic office in the faculty for information on binding and optional uses of individual STiNE functions for your specific degree program.
Universität Hamburg has worked closely with Hamburg's Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HmbBfDI) on the subjects of data protection and STiNE. A clearly-defined rights management system ensures that the data stored in STiNE can only be viewed and processed by authorized individuals.
Top of pageBefore you can use STiNE you have to change your password for your user account in the Benutzerverwaltung. You are able to change your password as often as you wish.

You will be prompted to enter an iTAN to confirm these transactions. Please note that each iTAN can only be used once!
Top of pageNo, it does not. A clearly-defined system of roles and rights ensures that only very specific people are able to access specific data. Teaching staff are only granted read and write permission for the classes they supervise. Lecturers are not able to track your academic progress, and also cannot see how you did in other classes. Besides you personally, only the examination office staff are able to see this-and their read and write permission is also precisely defined. Fellow students naturally cannot access your personal data!
Top of pageYou will be sent your access details (ID and password) by post once you have (re-)enrolled. Use this information to register in STiNE. You will also be sent a list of iTANs separately by post. Once you have selected a class, you will need to confirm your booking by entering one of the iTANs provided.
Top of pagePlease contact the Regional Computing Center - Service Desk (Schlüterstraße 70, opening hours: 8.30 am - 16 pm). You will be provided with your access details upon presentation of a valid ID. We ask for your understanding that for data protection reasons, it is not possible to disclose details of login data or iTAN lists via email or over the telephone.
In case of questions regarding your access details, please email: stineline(at)rrz.uni-hamburg.de
iTAN: You can create a new iTAN block yourself in STiNE: Account > iTAN-Manager > Request new iTAN list. For this you still need an iTAN from the current list. You have to print out the list and then activate it with an iTAN from the new list.
