CampusCard for students

The CampusCard offers the following functions:

• student ID (requires validation at a card validation terminal)
• electronic wallet to pay for refectory and cafeteria meals
• electronic wallet for the printer-copiers on campus
• library user card
• locker access
• access card for the Sports Centre turnstiles
• access card for specific buildings (please apply separately to enable this function)
• access card for the student car park, Innstrasse 27/29 (please apply separately to enable this function)
• semester bus pass (requires validation at a card validation terminal)

If you are unable to come in during the collection times, an alternative collection appointment may, exceptionally, be arranged.

You may ask someone else to fetch the CampusCard for you. To do so, you will need to authorise that person to act on your behalf (proxy). Your proxy must prove his or her identity, e.g. by showing his/her passport. Moreover, he/she should bring along the following documents:

• the signed receipt confirmation from Stud.IP (signed by the card applicant)
• a copy of the identity page of the card applicant’s passport (EU nationals may use their national ID card)
• the card applicant's written authorisation signed by the card applicant

 You can download an authorisation form which you can fill in on your computer and print out.

We will only post the CampusCard to you in exceptional circumstances and only within Germany. If you need your card sent to you by post, you will need to provide:

• a letter requesting that the card be posted, explaining why this is necessary and providing suitable proof, e.g. a doctor's note
• receipt confirmation from Stud.IP (signed by the card applicant)
• a copy of the identity page of the card applicant's passport (EU nationals may use their official ID card) – this will be returned together with the CampusCard
• a stamped self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) in 'DIN lang' format (110×220 mm), non-windowed
  • Please make sure you write your return address legibly and also consider whether our address up to date and your name is written on your letterbox, etc.
  • Also, ensure the SASE is stamped correctly: ‘Kompaktbrief’ (0.85 euros postage) ‘mit Einschreiben’ (confirmed delivery; this service costs an additional 2.50 euros). You can do this via the Deutsche Post website (available only in German) or at a local post office. The CampusCard will not be sent to you by post if:
    • you submitted an incomplete application
    • you indicated a delivery address that lies outside Germany
    • you did not affix the correct stamps to the SASE or did not use 'Kompaktbrief' and the 'mit Einschreiben' service
 

For organisational reasons letters are sent out only once per week.
