Solis ID

Students who are enrolled at Utrecht University have received an e-mail containing a UU mail address (your students email address), a Solis-id (your student number that contains 7 digits) and a Solis password.

Your Solis-id and Solis password gives you access to almost all online university facilities. Your Solis-id number is your username. You can change the Solis password at any time (see below).

Password

As a new student, you will receive your Solis-id via e-mail. In that same e-mail, you will find a link to the password portal where you are able to create your password.

• Forgot, change or create your password: Use the password portal
• Read the tips for a strong password and password management tools

More information can be found on the Solis-id page.

Osiris Student is the study information system of Utrecht University. Here you enroll for courses, view your schedule, view test results and make a study progress overview. This is private related information and is protected. Use your Solis ID and password to log in.

Our digital learning environment is called Blackboard. It may take a little while before you are able to log into Blackboard if you have just received your Solis-id.

Once logged in on the “MyBlackboard” page, you will find an overview of the Blackboard courses for which you are enrolled. In this electronic learning environment you will find information on the contents of the course, the exercises and sometimes examples of exams are given.

All courses make use of Blackboard and it is an official communication channel, so make sure to check it regularly.

2. Log in with your Solis-id.
