Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
From the summer semester 2024 (April 1, 2024), the NVV semester ticket of the University of Kassel will be replaced by the Germany semester ticket. The Germany Semester Ticket is valid nationwide on public transport and is issued electronically for smartphones. The tariff regulations of the Deutschland-Ticket www.nvv.de/tickets/tarifinfos/tarifuebersicht apply
The Deutschlandsemesterticket currently costs 29.40 euros per month. The price is set uniformly throughout Germany . The ticket is paid for in full solidarity by all students with the semester fee for enrolment or re-registration and is therefore particularly inexpensive.
The Deutschlandsemesterticket will be issued as a mobile ticket for smartphones from April 1, 2024. Further information on accessing the ticket will be available here as soon as the technical implementation has been completed. All enrolled students will be informed in good time by the AStA via email.
The Deutschlandsemesterticket will not be printed on the CampusCard.
The upgrade for the previous NVV semester ticket to the Deutschland-Ticket will be offered until March 2024 as a monthly cancelable subscription. Existing upgrade subscriptions end automatically at the end of March.
AStA and NVV are currently working together with the University of Kassel and the KVG on the technical implementation. Further information is expected to be made available here in the week beginning March 18, 2024.
No, refusal is not a reason for reimbursement.
For students of the Management School of the University of Kassel (UNIKIMS), the semester fee is 158.25 euros. For them, the amounts for the semester ticket, the bicycle rental system and the cultural ticket do not apply.
Students on these part-time degree courses spend most of their time working rather than studying and are therefore not entitled to the Soli-Deutschlandticket.
If UNIKIMS students decide to continue their studies, they will of course receive a ticket as a non-part-time student.
The ticket on the CampusCard is also valid in the NVV area until April 30th. This is a goodwill gesture by the NVV so that you can still get to university safely, especially in the early days, if the ticket does not yet work on your smartphone. The AStA is the right contact in such cases: We offer consultation hours in April to set up the ticket. You can find the dates above.
The Deutschland-Ticket may only be issued digitally, i.e. as an electronic ticket on smartphones or chip cards. This ensures verifiability and recognition nationwide.
For technical reasons, the CampusCard can unfortunately no longer be used as a medium for the ticket.
NVV and KVG have therefore created a technical solution in a very short time that enables the issue as a digital ticket for smartphones. You can find instructions on how to use it here. The AStA offers consultation hours in April to set up the ticket. You can find the dates further up on this page.
If you are unable to use a smartphone, e.g. due to a physical impairment, you can contact the AStA deutschlandticket[at]asta.uni-kassel[dot]de - we will find a solution for you to use your Deutschlandsemesterticket.
Due to the legal requirements of the federal government, the Deutschlandticket is a purely digital ticket. The transport associations can also offer the Deutschlandticket as a chip card as an alternative to the cell phone ticket. For ecological, economic and logistical reasons, however, it makes sense for as many users as possible to load the Deutschlandticket onto their smartphone. However, as described above, we will find a solution for those who cannot use a smartphone.
Refund of the semester ticket
Reimbursement of the semester ticket must be applied for each semester.
The submission deadlines always start on: 15.03. for the summer semester and 15.09. for the winter semester.
The deadlines for submitting applications are: 30.04. for the summer semester and 31.10. for the winter semester.
Missing documents can still be submitted up to 2 weeks after this deadline.
Reason for reimbursement State and Hesse ticket
Since there is a considerable additional effort in processing the reimbursement in the AStA due to the reason for applying for a state ticket, special requirements apply:
The following conditions apply :
- There is a processing fee of approx. 8 euros in SoSe 2024 based on the hardship statutes
- All applications for this reason for reimbursement must be submitted directly to in full and correctly
- There is no deadline for submitting missing documents
- Incorrect applications will not be processed and sorted out without notification. Please note our office hours of the secretariat or the Department for Social Affairs and Anti-Discrimination for any queries.
- The state ticket is still a reason for reimbursement, as it is part of the collective bargaining of the state of Hesse, even if it covers a smaller area of validity than the Germany semester ticket newly introduced in SoSe 2024. This is explicitly waived upon application and therefore the Deutschlandticket can no longer be used until the end of the semester on 30.09!
