FU Account

Shortly before you start work, you will receive your login details for setting up your FU account from the central IT department FUB-IT. If this does not happen, please contact you HR administrator in the Human Resources department.

Guests of Freie Universität Berlin can request an FU account using this application form.

A personal certificate (email encryption/digital signature) can be requested by emailing certificate@fu-berlin.de.

Telephone

As an employee of Freie Universität Berlin, when you create your FU account, you will automatically be assigned a personal phone number with an answering machine and a PIN for logging in to the phone system. This phone number will remain the same throughout your employment and cannot be changed.

If you do not have a telephone at your workplace, please contact the designated IT officer in your department.

Employees also have the option of activating phone number for telephone calls using the Cicsco Webex or Jabber software for PC or smartphone.

Drives and Printers

When you set up your FU account, you will automatically receive access to your personal drive. Permission to use shared drives and printers must be requested by your supervisor from FUB-IT support.

FUB-IT Portal

The central FUB-IT Portal provides members of Freie Universität Berlin with easy access to IT services and information. From here, you can access your FU account, email, telephone, and the FU telephone directory. You can submit requests to IT support from here via the service portal. The elSA portal provides access to various administrative applications and a self-service portal for all employees, where personal information, HR-related documents, and certificates can be accessed online.

Webex

The Cisco Webex chat and video conferencing platform is ideal for online meetings, (teaching) events, online office hours, group work, or project teams. Employees can also use the softphone functions after activating their personal phone number.
