Setting up the user certificate in the web browser
Find out here how to configure your web browser using your university certificate to access the Student Portal:
Please check before registering:
- Do you have a valid user certificate?
If you do not yet have a user certificate, the following link will tell you how to obtain one: Obtaining the user certificate ("Beschaffung des Hochschulzertifikats") - Are firewall settings blocking access to the Student Portal website?
Locally installed security software (e.g. Sophos Home or similar) must allow access to the Student Portal URL in the web browser. You may need to add the URL of the https://secure.th-owl.de to the trusted sites in your security software.
Below you will find the links for setting up the most common web browsers. Other systems are possible, but are not currently documented here.
Webbrowser (Desktop)
Webbrowser (mobile devices)
Good to know: The Student Portal can be used via all web browsers documented here. However, Apple's Safari browser in particular has proven to be prone to errors. We recommend the web browser Mozilla Firefox.
