SWITCH edu-ID
SWITCH edu-ID is a digital identity for lifelong access to services in the university environment.
ETH staff and students need a SWITCH edu-ID to access certain facility services.
From 7 December 2020, it will no longer be possible to borrow or make reservations at the ETH library without a SWITCH edu-ID.
Registration
Access to registration is via IAM.
ETH students and staff will be able to log in to the IAM to register for the SWITCH edu-ID.
