First access: authentication and register

Students, prospective students, candidates and visitors (or more generally people who do not have an employment relationship with the university) with Italian citizenship.

By law, it is mandatory to access the Online Services of the public administration using SPID or CIE identities. Therefore the authentication methods described below are intended for temporary use.

  • Register

    Use the “Register” link available on the university authentication mask or enter with eduGAIN if you have federated credentials.

    On the registration page:

    1. enter your personal data (have the tax code available)
    2. you will be assigned a Polimi Person code
    3. set the password for the Person code
    4. print (as pdf) the registration recap
    5. at the end of the registration you will be redirected to the login page: login to access the Online Services.

    Upon registration you will be provided with your Polimi identifier, the Person Code, for which you will be asked to associate a password. These credentials are required to access, configure or manage various University services.

  • Activate the Polimi 2FA

    At a subsequent login you will be asked to activate 2FA via SPID or CIE

    1. expand the box below “Are you having problems with SPID or CIE?” and use the link “Declare and continue without without SPID or CIE”
    2. enter a text describing your problem in using SPID or CIE
    3. continue, you will be redirected to the activation page
    4. scroll down the page and select the option “Activate 2FA Polimi”
    5. follow the activation instructions

    2FA adds a layer of security to your personal space and protects you from fraudulent access in the event that your Polimi credentials are stolen.
