Instructions on how to download the identification letter (PDF)
After your enrolment is processed you will get access to the SIM student portal, which offers different functions than the SIM application portal. To access this new portal, you must first download your identification letter and change the master password specified there.
With your HIZ-ID and your changed master password, you can, among other things, now log into the SIM student portal.
From now on, please only use this student account to log in to the various portals of Saarland University, as you can only access all functions for enrolled students with this student identification.
