Student ID card

Newly enrolled students will receive the chip card by post to the address given on their application.

If the chip card is issued very shortly before the start of the semester, you can collect it from the StudierendenServiceCenter. In this case, we will inform you by e-mail.

Your chip card is valid as long as you are enrolled. You will receive the chip card with the printed validity for your first semester.

There are several validators on campus where you can validate your chip card for further semesters. This is possible as soon as you are re-registered for the coming semester.

You can keep the chip card after your studies. If you enrol again at a later date, the card can be reactivated.

We will decide on the spot whether the fee of 20 € will be charged. Please note that we cannot guarantee to produce the new chip card on the day of application!

The replacement issue is free of charge, for example, if there is a technical problem.

In the event of loss or theft, we can block your chip card and ensure that the deposited credit cannot be used. Therefore, please inform us immediately by e-mail (ssc-kl[at]rptu.de) about the loss. You will receive a replacement card for a fee of 20 €. You will automatically receive all further information on how to apply for a replacement card by e-mail after you have reported the loss.

If the card is found, it will usually be handed in to us. We will inform you by e-mail when you can come and collect your chip card.

From 01 October 2024, only the app-bound D-Semesterticket can be used. No imprint will appear on your student ID card or the student ID card will no longer be valid as a ticket.

If your name has changed, please contact the SSC Kaiserslautern team.

The Deutschland-Semesterticket for students is issued at the RPTU as a personalized digital app-linked ticket.

Information and FAQs about the Deutschland-Semesterticket are available from the AStA Kaiserslautern.

If you would like to have the ticket as a physical card, you can pick up a proof of eligibility for it at the SSC. With this, you can apply for a card from the VRN.

Distance learning students can have a student ID card/chip card issued for a fee of €10. If you are interested, please contact the SSC Kaiserslautern.

At the beginning of your studies, you will be issued a student ID card.

The UniCard is valid for your entire period of study at RPTU. At the beginning of each semester, the current validity period is printed on the card using a validator. Validation for a semester is possible as soon as you have successfully re-registered.

Please note that your first student ID card is not yet validated. The validators are located between the Audimax and the cafeteria on the Landau campus.

If you have problems with the UniCard, contact the SSC in Landau (ssc-ld[at]rptu.de). The team on site can check whether there is a technical defect. In the case of defects that are not your fault (without visible external influence), the replacement card fee of 20 € is not charged.

In the event of loss, we can block your UniCard and ensure that the deposited credit cannot be used. Therefore, please inform us immediately by e-mail (ssc-ld[at]rptu.de) about the loss. You will receive a replacement card for a fee of 20 €.

You will automatically receive all further information on how to apply for a replacement card by e-mail after reporting the loss.

If your name has changed, please contact the SSC Landau team.

The Deutschland-Semesterticket will no longer be offered to students in Landau starting in the 2025/26 winter semester.

If you have any questions about the Deutschland-Semesterticket, please contact the AStA (umwelt[at]asta-landau.de).
