The CampusCard combines most of the functions you need for everyday university life:

• ID function
• Payment function in the canteen, cafeteria and library
• Locking medium for lockers and cloakroom lockers
• Printing and copying on the multifunctional devices in the library (you can still borrow items using your library card)

After you have registered as a guest student for the respective semester, the first card will be sent to you by post together with the letter of acceptance. The card is then already fully labelled and validated for the current semester.

In the following semesters, you must validate the card yourself. This can be done both in the Haarentor canteen foyer and in the foyer in Wechloy from Monday to Friday, and there is also another validator in the C3L building (V02). You can validate as soon as you have registered as a guest student and received your letter of acceptance from us. If you take a break for a semester or for a longer period of time, the card cannot be validated and all functions are deactivated until you register again.

Exactly how validation works is explained on the relevant devices.

The CampusCard is always valid for the registered semester. In the summer semester from 01.04. to 30.09. of a year and in the winter semester from 01.10. to 31.03. of the following year.

The following information is printed or stored on the CampusCard

Visible data (as of 01/02/2021):

• Designation "Guest student card"
• First name, surname
• Guest student number
• Guest student card/period of validity
• Logo imprints for usable facilities
• CampusCard ID
• Card serial number

Electronically readable data (as of 01.02.2021):

• Card serial number
• CampusCard ID
• Personal identification number, for guest students the type "guest student"
• Guest student card / period of validity
• Locker authorisation (electronic key)
• Wallet for the guest student group

The configuration of the data ensures that only the data required for the function currently being used can be accessed.
For example, the Studentenwerk will not know who has loaded how much money onto a card. It will only know how much money has been stored on which card. The Studentenwerk will also not know who has paid for which services.

A photo function is not provided for guest students, as is the case with students' CampusCards, for example, and is not necessary for the functions.

The first issue of the CampusCard is free of charge. It will be sent to you by post.
A fee of EUR 15 will be charged for the issue of a replacement card, e.g. in the event of loss or damage. This does not apply in the event of a technical defect for which you are not responsible or in the event of a name change.

It is possible to apply for a replacement card directly via the Gasthörbüro. Payment is only possible by bank transfer; the card will be produced after receipt of payment. Cash payment is not possible. The possibility of payment by credit card is still being examined.

No, you will keep your CampusCard for the duration of your guest student programme at the University of Oldenburg. In order to note the validity for the respective semester on the CampusCard, you must validate the card yourself after successfully re-registering as a student.

If your CampusCard is lost or stolen, please report this immediately:

• by telephone to the Servicesdesk 0441/798-5555 or
• in Stud.IP with the function Block CampusCard under Profile - CampusCard

If necessary, apply for a new card to be issued at the Guest Lecture Office. As soon as the replacement card has been produced, you will be informed by email or telephone. You can then collect it from the Guest Lecture Office or you will receive it by post.

In the event of a technical fault, please apply for a new card at the service desk in the library or by telephone at 0441/798-5555. If the fault is recognised and is not due to misuse of the card, you will receive the new card without paying an additional fee.

If your name has changed, please contact the Gasthörbüro. You will then also receive a new card at no additional cost.

You can top up your card with money (maximum amount €55.00) at the top-up machines in the canteen areas and at the cash desks in the cafeteria (not in the canteen) and in the library.
To pay, hold the CampusCard in front of a reader and the amount will be deducted contactlessly from the credit on the card's chip. The credit on valid cards can also be paid out again at the cash desks in the cafeterias. It is also still possible to pay in cash at the Studentenwerk cash desks.

The library card must still be used to borrow literature. The CampusCard is only intended for printing and copying on the available printers and for paying fees/charges. If you do not yet have a library card, you can apply for one at the library.

The CampusCard must be activated once for this function on an occupancy display device (located at the cloakroom lockers). The CampusCard can then be used for locking at all locations.

Overnight use of the lockers is not permitted. The lockers therefore usually lock automatically at the end of the opening hours of the buildings. On the following opening day, the lockers will only be unlocked again by the staff on site for a fee of EUR 5.

Please observe the applicable conditions of use and take care of your valuables.

No liability is accepted.

The validity of the card ends at the end of the respective semester. If you permanently terminate your guest student status, the card can be disposed of. If necessary, have any existing credit paid out during the current semester at a Studentenwerk cash desk in the cafeteria.
