In the labyrinth of the IT world, or the IT systems of Corvinus

Neptun

This is one of the most fundamental systems, which you will be using very frequently. Here is where the login happens every semester, where you enroll in a course or exam, and where you take care of your financial businesses. Besides, you will use it for many administrative tasks, like submitting applications or applying for scholarships. You can reach important messages and notifications on deadlines both on Neptun and through the university’s email system.

Moodle

Another “proverb” that is mentioned on a daily basis, is the university’s official e-learning platform, where you can find pre-recorded videos of lectures, reading materials, and self-tests. Every course has its own individual space, where the lecturer can upload all the materials needed for the course. It is useful to pay attention to notifications, since course leaders are able to communicate with students through this platform as well.

Navigator

Sometimes called “The compass of university life”, counts as an absolute breakthrough. The innovation developed by Corvinus-students is available since the spring semester of 2021/22 and is still going through some improvements. The main goal of this platform is for students to have a picture of what kind of opportunities are available for them.

The site was created for every field of study individually, so that everyone is able to look for advice for the future according to their academic major. Another advantage is that it’s easily accessible: first you need to fill in a questionnaire on the MyCorvinus webpage. This is a personality test that takes a maximum of 20-30 minutes and which at the end gives us a result of our personality-profile based on our answers, containing our competencies and career-types that suit us the best. Furthermore, it shows all the opportunities and subjects available at the university, if we decide to follow this road. We can discuss the results with profile-assessment consultants, through which vague parts can be cleared out as well. In addition, one can participate in an orientation mentoring, where professionals help us get closer to knowing our future goals and opportunities. You can retake this course every other semester. And those who want to take a real deep dive into it, can apply for the last stage, called professional career-consulting, which is free of charge.

Outlook

The university’s official mailing system. If you would like to contact a professor or a university coworker, this is the platform to use. Everyone gets their own email address (firstname.lastname@stud.uni-corvinus.hu), which you can use for reaching others and also where you receive the most important information (like notifications about Neptun messages), therefore it’s useful to stay up to date and check it regularly. Besides, it is worth knowing that every student is entitled to the usage of an Office 365 package, which is accessible and ready to download from Microsoft 365. Keep it in mind that the two-factor authentication might log you out sometimes and therefore notifications won’t be visible. Other features of Outlook are for example that you can reserve study and other conference rooms for different types of occasions.

Cusman

You will meet this expression many times as well, since you can only login to many platforms – such as Moodle, Teams or MyCorvinus – with a specific username-password combination. So, this is the Central User Administration System, that unifies the login to all platforms. The password you create at the time of enrollment will have to be refreshed from time to time, but the system warns you when to do that. Your official email address will also be created during the registration process.
