Temporary computer use for visitors

Visitors without a TUNI account can, if necessary, be provided with a personal visitor key for computer access. A typical use case for the service is a visiting lecturer who does not have their own computer with them and has a temporary need to sign in to a classroom presentation PC. The visitor key works only on specific computers and can be valid for 1–7 days. If needed, you may ask the IT Helpdesk which computers are available for this service.
 

Requesting a Visitor Key

Inform your TUNI staff contact person of your need for a visitor key well in advance. Your contact person will notify the campus info desks of your name, email address, and the reason you need the visitor key.

You can collect the visitor key from the campus info desks during their opening hours. Be prepared to prove your identity when collecting it. Accepted forms of identification are a passport, identity card, or driving licence.

Once your identity has been verified, a visitor key will be created for you and sent to your email address.

When the visitor key is created, the service records the visitor’s name, email address, the number of the identification document used, the reason for the visit, and the contact person.
