Who can have a university e-mail address?

The Informatics Centre provides students and staff of the University of Miskolc with a personal e-mail address (also known as a personal e-mail address) for the University’s central M365-based mail system. A student or employee may have one personal e-mail address. The aim is that all students and staff should have a University e-mail address and that all official correspondence should be sent via this address.

All employees of the University, after the beginning of their employment, are entitled to request a personal e-mail address (hereinafter: personal e-mail address), which will be their personal e-mail address, through the employee in charge of the administrative tasks of the respective department, in the central mail system of the University (uni-miskolc.hu). An employee may have one personal e-mail address but may have several e-mail addresses of a technical nature. A technical e-mail address is understood to be an e-mail address associated with an additional job title (e.g. rector@…, director@… etc.) or a job function (e.g. jobido@…, helpdesk@… etc.). Users may use their e-mail address only for personal use and may not give the data required to access the mail system (user name and password) to any other person.

The IT Centre will immediately suspend the right to use the personal e-mail address after the termination of the legal relationship entitling the user to use the central mail system. In the case of an e-mail address of a technical nature, it shall immediately ensure that the person authorised to use the e-mail address is granted access to the technical e-mail address, while changing the old password.

How can I request a university e-mail address?
For employees

E-mail address requests can be made by the head of department or administrator through the HelpDesk or by writing to helpdesk@uni-miskolc.hu from a university e-mail address.

For students

All students automatically receive a university e-mail address after enrolment. The access details (username, password, etc.) will be sent to the student’s secondary email address registered in Neptun. If you cannot find it in your mailbox, please contact helpdesk@uni-miskolc.hu with your full name and Neptun code.

Mail client

Microsoft Outlook is the supported mail client. Here you need to add your university email address as a new Exchange account. The system will ask you for your username (x.y@uni-miskolc.hu or x.y@student.uni-miskolc.hu) and password and will automatically set up the new account with your folders and mail.

We currently provide the following IT services:

  • e-mail,
  • Teams,
  • M365 Office applications,
  • university e-learning system,
  • eduID
For students

Currently two login systems are operating in parallel, one for e-mail, Teams, and another for eduID, eduRoam (Wi-Fi). The username is the same in both systems, and the initial password is also the same. For IT security reasons, the initial password must be changed. In the case of M365, we can enforce this technologically, while in the case of eduID, eduRoam, we can only recommend and request it. If you previously had eduID or eduRoam access, your password has not been changed.

The university e-mail address and the corresponding password are also your student eduID identifiers, which can be used to access database services, among other things.

To use the university e-learning system (Moodle) as a student, the Neptune code is the username. Before entering for the first time, it is advisable to ask for a password reminder.
