6 Steps to help you become IT ready for your studies

IT-Start for students 2024

Are you a new student at Aalborg University? Congratulations on your admission from us in IT Services. We have created six steps for you to follow, so that you can become ready to use the most important IT tools for students at AAU.

Before you can go through the six steps, you will have to create an AAU-Account via Unistart. After logging into Unistart for the first time, it takes 25 hours before your AAU-Username and AAU-Mail are ready for you to use.  

1. In connection with your admission to Aalborg University (AAU), you have created an AAU-Account, which includes an AAU-Username and an AAU-Mail. Here you must pay attention to what these can be used for.  

2. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is used to secure your account against improper use. Today, MFA is used on most online services, and it follows the same principles you know from using MitID.  

 

3. Remember to set up your device to connect to the Wi-Fi network at AAU. Every student and employee have access to set up their computer, smartphones and other devices to our wireless network called Eduroam.  

4. Have you remembered to order your AAUCard via Unistart? Your AAUCard has many functions and will thus be important for you during your studies at AAU.  

5. Set up Follow-You print on your computer. Using Follow-You print allows you to send the documents to a server, after which you can go to any printer at AAU and print out the documents.  

6. You have access to Microsoft 365 via web and installation on your private computer. During your studies AAU offers you access to Office365 which includes PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, and much more.
