Information for New Students

Welcome, accepted students!

So, what do you need to do?

• Enter the Undergraduate Studies website at technion.ac.il.

Getting familiar with the information on the website will help you throughout the entire course of your undergraduate studies.

The information is continuously being updated, in accordance with changes made to the academic calendar.

• Secret code – each student will be sent an 8-digit “secret code” via SMS, which serves as a unique means of identification. If the code is forgotten/lost, it can be recovered by clicking on “I am missing my personal code.” Alternatively, you can contact the relevant administrator via the Student Unit (He).
• It is mandatory provide your signature on the Technion procedures and to provide a signature on the “health declaration.” If you have stated that you are not in good health, you must send medical documentation (include your ID#) to the head of the Student Unit via email: ugstudents@technion.ac.il.

Without these signatures, it will not be possible to register for courses.

• Open a personal campus account, in accordance with the instructions specified in the “Guide for opening a campus computing account at the Technion.”
• Register for the mandatory courses for the first semester on your own on the dates designated for new student registration, in accordance with the instructions specified on the course registration manual.
• You can make changes (add/drop) to your class schedule, in accordance with the individualized registration appointment dates that are posted on the Students Services

In order to prepare yourself for academic studies, we recommend that you visit the website: “Preparing for success at the Technion — recorded lectures in physics and mathematics and other useful information.” On this website, you will find a collection of recorded lectures from the fields of mathematics and physics, intended to help you review the background knowledge required for taking courses in these fields at the Technion, as well as useful information for new students.

• Order a Student Card on the Student Association website.
