Access to all central IT services of the central IT department (HRZ) is provided with the HTW account. Your personal activation code for the account will be sent to you by e-mail once you successfully enrolled in your first semester.

The username of the account can not be changed and the account is valid until the end of your studies.

Have you forgotten your password of the HTW-account? Then please visit this website.

For employees and lecturers of the HTW Berlin an account application will be set up via human resources or the faculty administration. They then receive an e-mail request to validate their personal data. If this data is confirmed, IT services will create the account and sent out an activation e-mail. The account can then be activated at start.htw-berlin.de.

Further information is available at the IT-Helpcenter.

Guest listeners and guest students can apply for an HTW account directly on the "Application for admission as guest student". A copy of the application will be forwarded to the central IT department - Hochschulrechenzentrum (HRZ). After the HTW account has been set up, the access documents (user name/activation code) will be sent to you by mail or e-mail to the (e-mail) address given on the application. The HTW account must still be activated at https://start.htw-berlin.de after receiving the documents.
