Everything works with the same login: enrolling in your studies, registering on the learning platform and accessing cloud services.
Everyone can create a Switch edu-ID account immediately and free of charge.
Switch edu-ID
Switch edu-ID is the universal login for lifelong learning. Students and other users can access thousands of national and international services with Switch edu-ID.
Swiss universities participate in the Switch edu-ID identity federation, which is orchestrated by the Switch Foundation. Within the federation, members of universities can access services of other universities with their Switch edu-ID login. All personal data remains in Switzerland under the direct control of Switch and the universities and is covered by Swiss data protection provisions.
