User Account for Students, Lecturers and Employees

Members of the Rostock University of Music and Theatre are automatically provided with a user account and an e-mail address. 

You will receive the account details within the enrollment process or at the start of employment at the university. If a private e-mail address was provided, the access data will be sent there, otherwise you will receive it by letter. 

The first step for you is to change your password in the online portal of the university (service.hmt-rostock.de). Enter your user name and the initial password in the upper right corner. You will then be prompted to enter a new password. Please choose a secure password that contains at least nine characters (small and capital letters, numbers, and special characters, but no umlauts ä, ö, ü and no "ß"). If you forget your password, you can reset it via this page too. For more information click here: Forgotten password instructions

hmt Mail

With the user account you will be assigned a personal hmt email. From now on, official and essential information of the university will be sent to this address. 

You can access the hmt e-mail service via the Outlook Web Access web platform at mail.hmt-rostock.de

Some email clients also support the integration of the mail account via the Outlook Exchange protocol. For some devices, e.g. with Apple iOS, you must enter your user ID and password, as well as the domain administration.hmt-rostock.de. This also applies if you are a student! 

Unfortunately, an integration via IMAP / POP3 clients is not possible. 

Students are provided with 250 MB of storage on our mail server, lecturers with 500 MB. When you have used about 98% of your storage space, an automatic warning will be issued. You can only receive mails if there is enough storage left in your mailbox.
