Important: All communication is now only via the HfMDK email address
In June 2025, the university switched its official communication channel to university email addresses. Re-registration deadlines, overdue notices from the library, messages from the examination office—students now receive all important university information quickly, reliably, and in one place without it getting mixed up with private emails, benefiting from secure, GDPR-compliant communication.
This address (for students, following the pattern firstname.lastname@students.hfmdk-frankfurt.de, and for lecturers, following the pattern firstname.lastname@lb.hfmdk-frankfurt.de) is also stored in the Asimut room booking system and in the Campus Management System, which the Student Services Department uses to manage student and lecturer data. In addition, the HfMDK account now also functions as a login for CampusWEB. Students and teachers are responsible for setting up their HfMDK mailbox, checking it regularly, and using it for communication with the university.
Tip: Linking your HfMDK email address to the mail app on your personal devices can help you stay up to date and ensure you never miss any important information. Instructions for various mail programs can be found in this folder in the HfMDK cloud.
Why this change?
Standardized communication channels via the university's own email addresses significantly increase IT security and data protection. The HfMDK email addresses are integrated into a centrally managed, secure infrastructure that protects against unauthorized access, encrypts data transmission, and complies with current security standards.
The use of the HfMDK email address is mandatory for all students. If you have any questions or technical problems, the computer center (Rechenzentrum) will be happy to help.
