CampusCard for students
All students enrolled at the University of Passau are entitled to a CampusCard, which, in addition to being an ID card for University purposes, serves as a semester bus pass for the buses in town and offers additional functionality on campus. The following groups will receive a CampusCard:
- Students (including enrolled doctoral students)
- Exchange students
- ERASMUS students
- DAAD students
How (and when) will I get my CampusCard?
Please apply for your CampusCard in the card portal in Stud.IP (click on the "CampusCard" icon).
The card will be printed by the Student Registration Office after the application has gone through. As soon as your card is ready for collection at the Student Registration Office on the ground floor of the administration building (Innstr. 41) during the opening hours, you will receive an email notification in Stud.IP.
For collecting your CampusCard, please bring the printed confirmation of receipt ("Empfangsbestätigung") and your official photo ID with you.
Please make an appointment if you cannot come in during the regular opening hours.
Important information for new students
New students starting out in summer semester 2026 can collect their CampusCard from Monday, 30 March 2026. Please go to the Student Registration Office on the ground floor of the administration building (Innstr. 41) to pick up your card.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m.
For collecting your CampusCard, please bring the printed confirmation of receipt ("Empfangsbestätigung") and your official photo ID with you.
If you have any further questions, please contact the CampusCard team by telephone (+49 851 509 1127) or email (studierendenausweis@uni-passau.de).
You can – in exceptional cases and only upon prior arrangement – ask someone to fetch the CampusCard for you. To do so, you will need to authorise that person to act on your behalf. Your authorised representative must identify himself or herself by means of an official photographic ID and show the following documents:
- The signed receipt confirmation printed out from Stud.IP (this must be signed by you as the card applicant)
- A copy of the identity page of the your (card applicant’s) passport (EU nationals can scan their national ID card)
- Written authorisation signed by you (card applicant)
Please remember to validate your card at the start of each semester. Validation stations are located at the following sites:
- Administration building (VW, Innstr. 41)
- Canteen building (Mensa, Innstr. 29)
- Faculty of Economics building (WIWI, Innstr. 27)
- Nikola Monastery building (NK, Innstr. 40)
When you put your CampusCard into one of the validation terminals, it will get a new valid-until date printed on, while the old valid-until date is deleted. Without a valid-until date your CampusCard will not be accepted as an ID card for use in examinations or when using the buses in Passau.
First-semester students can validate their CampusCard as soon as they receive it.
Students in their second or higher semester can validate the CampusCard for the next semester from approximately 10 days before the start of the semester.
