Validation

Back to overview

To ensure that your CampusCard remains valid, it must be validated at least every time you re-register. To keep your Mensa status up to date, it is also necessary for employees to validate their CampusCard every six months.

You can validate your card in just a few seconds by inserting it into one of the validation stations on campus.

You cannot load money onto the card here. The locations of the validation stations can be found on the Studierendenwerk website [external].

What happens during validation?

The canteen status is set electronically and as an imprint so that you receive the prices for students or employees when paying by cash or card.
For students, the student ID card is printed for the semester for which you are currently enrolled.
The result is shown on the display of the device.

The semester ticket will no longer be printed on the CampusCard from summer semester 2024. Instead, it will be available as an online ticket.

If you have any questions or problems, please send an email to campuscard@uni-kassel.de or call +49 561 804 5678.
