Use your card.
Your chip card serves as your public transport pass (Semesterticket), key card for the University’s computer rooms, library card, electronic purse for canteen purchases, etc. You can load money on to your card at a number of top-up machines, using either cash or an EC card.
The first time you use your card to access a computer room, your card will be authenticated. This will take a few seconds. Please wait for the reader to show you a green light.
