Validation

Back to overview

To ensure that both the validity of your CampusCard and your Mensa status are maintained, it is necessary to validate the CampusCard at least after each re-registration.

For staff, trainees/apprentices/interns and Studierendenwerk employees, validation will only be necessary every 24 months in future. However, the extended term will only come into effect after the next validation.

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.
