Getting Started in the University of Bamberg Virtual Campus (VC)

Your first steps in the University of Bamberg Virtual Campus (VC) will depend on your personal status at the university:


Members of the University of Bamberg: log in using personal BA number provided by the University of Bamberg

If you are a student or staff member at the university, then you probably already have a personal user account (BA number and password). If this is the case, you can simply sign on to the VC using your BA number and corresponding password. To do this, click on the Login section at the upper left and click the button Login für Universität Bamberg.

Login-Block

If you are already signed in to an IT service which uses the Shibboleth web login (e.g. IAM-Portal), then clicking on Login for University of Bamberg will automatically log you in to the VC without having to enter additional information. This is the case if your name is displayed in the blue bar at the upper right of the screen. If you are not already signed in to an IT service, you will be redirected to the VC login page.

Shibboleth-Anmeldung

Please note: To be able to sign in, you have to use your personal user account. Access using a departmental or position-related user account is not permitted!

After logging on to the VC for the first time, we advise that you open and complete your VC profile. This includes information like city and country, the appropriate time zone (Bamberg is part of the Europa/Berlin time zone), a personal description, and the opportunity to upload a photo.
