A first card will be posted to you without further request.

If you need a replacement card due to loss or damage, you will need to pay a fee of 15 euros. You can request a replacement card in Stud.IP under the CampusCard menu item. When you apply for a new card, you can select the options of picking it up yourself or receiving it by post.

Your initial card will come fully labelled and validated. It will be valid for the semester following its date of issue.

In the subsequent semesters, you will need to validate the card using the special machines provided after you have re-registered successfully. You will be notified via email as soon as your student master record has been updated, allowing you to validate the card. The validation extends the end date of the validity periods by the coming semester. The card can therefore be used throughout the whole process.

Re-registration

No, you will keep your CampusCard for as long as you study at Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. In order to update the CampusCard with the period of validity after you re-registered successfully, you need to validate the card yourself.  

No. No other certificates are sent by post.

You can download your enrolment certificates and study certificates at any time in Stud.IP under Study data – Student service – Notifications/certificates.

You can generate and print out BAföG (student grant) certificates and grade certificates at any time in Stud.IP under Degree programme – My exams – My grades. The grade certificates contain a verification code that allows recipients (e.g. BAföG office etc.) to check their authenticity.

Your initial CampusCard is free, and you will normally receive it by post. If you enrol only after the semester has started, you can also pick up your card at the SSC (Student Service Center).

You can order a replacement card in Stud.IP. Each replacement card costs €15.

On de-registration you have to return your CampusCard because your student status ends. If you de-register within one month after the start of the lecture period, the semester fee can be fully refunded. You can put your CampusCard into an envelope with clear evidence of your de-registration and deposit it in the letter box in front of Building V01 or send it by post to the Admissions Office. Or you can hand in your CampusCard personally at the SSC InfoDesk (Building A12) or to the Admissions Office during opening hours.

You can have any credit remaining on your CampusCard paid out at the cash desks of the cafeteria and coffee bars before you hand it in. You can also send an email to the Studierendenwerk requesting payout of your credit. For this, you need the card number on the reverse side of the CampusCard.

Validators are available at the following places:

• in the SSC (A12)
• in the auditorium building (A14)
• in the cafeteria foyer in front of the main canteen in Uhlhornsweg
• in the canteen area in Wechloy
• corridor area between V02/V03

Please note the different opening hours of each building!

The period of validity is printed on the CampusCard.

After you re-register for the next semester, make sure you re-validate the card in good time before the expiry date so that you can use it seamlessly. If you have re-registered, you can also validate the card for the coming semester before the validity period printed on the card expires (i.e. after the end of March or September). 

As soon as you've paid the re-registration fee, you get an email confirming that you can validate your card.

The following information is printed/stored on the CampusCard:

Visible data (as of November 29, 2024)

• Visible data (as of 29 Nov. 2024):
• The designation "Student identity card"
• First name, Surname, Title (if applicable)
• Student ID number
• The photo you uploaded for the CampusCard
• Student ID card / period of validity
• Logos of services/providers you can use
• Library card number / bar code
• Card serial number

Information that can be read out electronically (February 14, 2019)

• Card serial number
• Type of person code (e.g. student)
• Student ID / period of validity
• Library number
• Locker access authorisation (electronic key)
• Wallet for the "student” group of individuals

The data is configured in such a way as to ensure only the data can be accessed that is required for the function used. For example, Studierendenwerk employees will not know who loaded how much money on his or her card. They only know the amount of funds available on each card. They will also not know who paid for which services.

Photo

The photo you uploaded to Stud.IP for the CampusCard is only required for producing the CampusCard. You can delete it again after you have received your card. If you require a replacement card, you will then need to upload a new photo. The photo you uploaded is only used for producing the CampusCard.

The profile photo in Stud.IP will be uploaded to your profile separately and may be different from that used for the CampusCard.

Please note also the following items:

Time requirements for uploading a photo

Technical requirements for the photo

If you don't upload a photo, your CampusCard will be printed without a photo. 
You can upload and delete a photo at any time in Stud.IP under CampusCard. It's important that you upload a photo by the time the print order is issued.

If you're a new student enrolling for the first time, you also get the option of uploading a photo for the CampusCard. We recommend you use this option so that your CampusCard can be ordered as soon as possible after your enrolment. Otherwise printing will be delayed until you confirm that you want a CampusCard without a photograph.
 

The CampusCard combines the most important functions you need as a student:

• Student identity card
• Library card Instructions for the use as library card
• Payment function for the student service organisation, the library (all fees and payments, including printing, copying and scanning)
• printing/copying/scanning in the library
• Key for lockers
   

From winter semester 2024/25, the CampusCard is no longer valid as a public transport pass because it has been replaced by the German semester ticket (D-SeTi). The semester ticket is no longer printed on the CampusCard. 
You can find the link for obtaining your Deutschlandsemesterticket on the AStA website.

Asta semester ticket

For this function, you have to activate your CampusCard once using the devices available next to the lockers. After that, you can use your CampusCard as a locker key on all campuses.

Using the lockers overnight is not permitted.

Please note the conditions of use and take care of your valuables.

The University does not accept any liability.

To pay, simply place your CampusCard on the reader. The payment amount is then deducted from the credit on your CampusCard.
You still have the option to pay in cash at the student service organisation cash desks.
However, in the library you can only pay electronically or via invoice after requesting this via 

bis-info@uol.de 

You can add funds to your card at any charging machine operated by Studierendenwerk Oldenburg (including at Jade Hochschule). There is one charging machine in each Mensa area at the University of Oldenburg.

Charging is also possible at the cash point of any cafeteria operated by Studierendenwerk Oldenburg but not at the cash points of the canteens.

The payment function of the CampusCard is administered by the Studierendenwerk Oldenburg. If you have any problems, please contact the Studierendenwerk directly:

If you lose your CampusCard or it is stolen, you can block it in Stud.IP at:  Profile– CampusCard – Block/unblock CampusCard

If you need a new card, you can order one in Stud.IP under Profile – CampusCard – Order new card at a fee. You will be informed by email once the replacement card has been printed. You can choose between receiving the card by post or collecting it yourself. If you have chosen to collect it in person at the Student Service Centre (SSC), please bring your ID or an appropriate authorisation for collection.
The previous card is then blocked for all systems.
Recovered cards that still work can be unblocked and used again as long as no replacement card has been issued.
The University of Oldenburg is not liable for the loss of a CampusCard.

If there was still credit on your CampusCard, you can have it refunded by sending an email to the student service organisation. For this, you need the card number on the reverse side of the CampusCard.

At any time you can request a replacement card for a charge of 15 EUR (direct dibet). For this, go to My Profile > CampusCard in Stud.IP. You must first block your card and then order the new card for a charge. Before you do so, you should have any credit on the old card paid out at one of the cafeterias of the Studierendenwerk. After the card has been locked, you will no longer be entitled to the payment of the balance.

If the card is defective or there are further questions regarding the payment of the remaining balance, please contact the Studierendenwerk by e-mail.

As soon as the new card has been produced, you will be notified via email. If you have specified that you will pick up the card personally at the Student Service Centre (SSC), bring an ID card or a proxy.
