# Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Computer and Media Service

The Computer- and Media Service of the HU (CMS) provides several services to all HU members. Many, albeit not all of these require an HU account to access. These accounts are created via user's application.

- **Students of the HU & Charité** create HU accounts using our [🔗 online form](http://amor.cms.hu-berlin.de/account/cookies.cgi?z=2). Please be advised that entered data needs to match enrollment data in full, including all given and last names.
- **Employees of the HU** hand in applications ideally via email, alternatively via inhouse mail. Please fill out the [📝 form](https://www.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/dl/beratung/en_huaccount_pers_2024.pdf) in full and physically sign the application before handing in. If you do not have an employment contract with the HU, you will need sponsorship of HU team leads. The form contains necessary fields for this. ([DE](https://www.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/dl/beratung/de_huaccount_pers_zuv_2024.pdf)/[EN](https://www.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/dl/beratung/en_huaccount_pers_2024.pdf))\
  \
  The above form includes the application for employees working for the university administration.\

The application is processed by the user help desk of the CMS within two business days of receipt.
- **Special accounts** for the purpose of non-personal and/or single subject matter correspondence, and teamwork can be request via [📝 form](https://www.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/dl/beratung/en_huaccount_special_2024.pdf) by employee of the HU with valid employment contracts.
