After enrolment, you will receive a request (by e-mail) together with your enrolment documents to upload a photo for your chip card. Only after you have uploaded the photo will your chip card be created and sent to you by post. You can find further information online at hs-fulda.de/chipkarte

The chip card is both a student ID card and a semester ticket. It also serves as a library card, contactless payment card in the cafeteria and photocopying card.

The library account is automatically set up for you as a student at the university. Before using it for the first time, set a password (the e-mail will automatically be sent to your university e-mail address!) You will find your personal ID number on the back of the chip card.

Instructions for setting up online access can be found in your enrolment documents and online at hs-fulda.de/hlb > Service > Lending > Library card > for students of HS Fulda.
