CampusCard for doctoral students

Doctoral, postdoctoral and visiting scholars at the University have the right to request a CampusCard.

• CampusCards for doctoral and postdoctoral scholars who have an employment contract with the University
• CampusCards for matriculated doctoral researchers
• CampusCards for visiting scholars

If you have both an employment contract with the University and matriculated status you have to choose between the student ID and the staff version of the CampusCard. To help you make your choice, the conditions of each card version are explained below:

1. Student prices in the refectory
2. Semester bus pass ('Semesterticket')
3. Student ID card
4. Building/locker access function
5. University library user card:
   • as a doctoral researcher you can have your green library user card set to doctoral student status. Please contact the library card team. When doing so you should provide a certificate/letter from your academic supervisor(s) ('Fachmentorat') indicating the planned date of completion of your doctoral studies.
   • the doctoral student status allows you to borrow reference media from the reading rooms for longer periods. However, please note that a fee is charged for overdue notices and interlibrary loans when borrowed using this type of library user card.
