Konto UŁ dla nowych studentów - FAQ

Setting up accounts for newly admitted students of the University of Lodz is in progress. If you still have not received the message, don’t worry – it will reach you for sure. However, if you worry about anything contact the Dean’s Office of your Faculty in order to verify if your account has been already set up in USOS and if the e-mail address that you had provided during recruitment is correct.

After setting up an account in USOS you will automatically get a student account in the @edu.uni.lodz.pl domain in MS Office. Twelve hours after setting up an account an e-mail containing information about setting up an account and the procedure of generating a new password will be sent to an e-mail address of each student – the e-mail address that they had provided during recruitment.
