To ensure a successful start to your studies, we will familiarize you with three important terms: matriculation number, UniAccount and CampusCard.
Matriculation number
This is your personal identification number. It is on your student ID card (=CampusCard) and is required, for example, for exam registrations or certificates.UniAccount
The UniAccount is your user identification (UserID) for the various online services of the university, e.g. the WLAN and is linked to a university e-mail address. After activation, all communication from the university will take place via this e-mail address. Please activate your UniAccount as soon as possible.CampusCard
We will send your CampusCard to the address stored in eCampus. It is an important part of everyday student life at the University of Kassel. It is used as a student ID card and semester ticket, as a library card, as an electronic wallet for paying in the canteen and as a cultural ticket.9.CampusCard

The CampusCard is your student ID card for the entire duration of your studies. It is also your library card, cultural ticket, payment card in the canteen, photocopying card, etc. Further information can be found here: CampusCard
10.Introduction
- I inform myself on the subpage"Introduction and start of studies - Important dates".
- I attend the introductory events in the first week of the semester (before the regular start of lectures) and find out how the timetable is drawn up. Only then do I create my own timetable.
The introductory events answer key questions about the structure of the degree program. Here you will find tips and advice on how to organize your studies and the course of study. The timetables are drawn up during this time. You will also get to know your future fellow students and the campus. So: make sure you go!
