What can the student ID card do?

The student ID card in chip card form contains your picture and a validity date and thus serves as your student ID. You keep your student ID card for the duration of your university studies at the university. The student ID card is always valid for one semester (see imprint). After you have re-registered for the coming semester, you must update the validity date at the validation machine in the Student Service Centre - SSC (Building 10). Validation can only be carried out on site.

The student ID card is no longer valid as a ticket. After successful re-enrolment for the next semester, the Deutschlandsemesterticket is available for download. Further information on the Deutschlandsemesterticket.

Your student ID card, which is a chip card, also serves as your library card. Your 12-digit library card number is printed on the back of the card in plain text and as a barcode. A library account will be set up for you automatically. Before you use the card as a library card for the first time, please set a password.

You can use the electronic lockers at Fulda University of Applied Sciences with your student ID card. Please note that the lockers are day lockers and may not be left vouched for outside opening times.

After initialising your student ID card once at the initialisation terminal, you can top it up with banknotes at the two top-up terminals. You will find the terminals in the entrance area of the cafeteria. You can now use your student ID wallet to pay for everything in the cafeteria, from lunch to coffee and snacks. At lunch, your student status is automatically recognised at the checkout and only the student meal price is debited from your wallet. Cash payment is not possible. Always treat your student ID card like cash! You can have your remaining balance paid out at the cash desk in the snack bar.

You can also use your student ID card for photocopiers, printouts and scans. You will find the printers/photocopiers in the library, in the Self-Study Centre and in the computer pools (Building 40, Room 006 and Building 20, Room 019).

You can top up credit for printing/copying/scanning in the Weinrich company's copy shop (Building 51) and via the top-up terminal in Building 46.

The Weinrich company is available for all questions relating to photocopier/printing and scanning functions.
You can have any existing credit paid out in the Weinrich company's copy shop if you can present your student ID.

Returns of your student ID card

You do not need to return your student identity/ID card once you have obtained your degree. However, if you undergo exmatriculation during the current semester, you must return the card. Any remaining credit on your student identity/ID card can be cashed out at the offices in charge (cafeteria / refectory or copy shop) before you return it.
