Go digital with the Deutschlandticket student upgrade

Students at the University of Kassel will be able to convert their semester ticket into a Deutschlandticket at low cost in the coming winter semester. The AStA of the University of Kassel and the mobility partners KVG and NVV have agreed on a digital way to do this.

Anyone wishing to use the Deutschlandticket student upgrade in the winter semester 2023/2024 can now apply at abo.kvg.de or abo.nvv.de. All that is required is proof of eligibility, which is uploaded during the ordering process. The ticket can then be accessed digitally in the "NVV mobil" app.

The surcharge compared to the semester ticket, which students automatically receive and which is valid for the area of the Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund and neighboring associations, will increase from 23.48 euros to 26.24 euros per month. This is due to the AStA: With the additional amount of 2.76 euros, the AStA enables students without a Deutschlandticket to continue to make necessary journeys in neighboring transport associations.

"This is important for students on cooperative degree courses who need to get to Fulda, for example. The basis for this is the existing AStA contracts with these transport associations," explained AStA Chairman Sebastian Ehlers.

The President of the University of Kassel, Prof. Dr. Ute Clement, thanked all those involved. All students benefit from this, "especially those who are starting their studies in Kassel this winter semester. They can now plan to be mobile at low cost beyond the scope of the semester ticket."

"For our students in Kassel, this digital and convenient offer has the special appeal of being able to travel cheaply and environmentally friendly in all directions of Germany, also due to the central location of the city," says Andreas Siebert, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund and District Administrator of the Kassel district.

Previous users of the upgrade will be contacted by email. The AStA will provide details on the website www.uni-kassel.de/go/StudiUpgradezumDTicket and www.instagram.com/astakassel. You can also find information from the NVV at www.nvv.de/deutschlandticket
