Communication with students / Policy for use of student email addresses

Upon enrollment Universität Hamburg assigns every student a student email address. This ensures data protection-compliant communication with students.

You should always use this student email address for addressing student requests and for providing students with information.

The policy for use of student email addresses at Universität Hamburg defines exactly how the University may use student email addresses to communicate with students and any exceptions.

This policy applies to all institutions and units within the University that communicate with students or are contacted by the same, particularly when seeking advice or information on the organization of studies.

Objectives:

• All communication with the students complies with data protection regulations.
• All institutions and units within the University communicate with students in a uniform way.
• Use of student email addresses establishes them as an integral communication channel.
