h_da-CampusCard
The CampusCard is your student ID for the entire duration of your studies at h_da, it is not a substitute for an official photo ID (ID card/passport) and is not transferable to other persons. You will receive the CampusCard by post shortly after your enrolment has been confirmed, provided you have entered an address in Germany in the university portal. The first issuance is free of charge.You should store it carefully and preferably without a protective cover.
If you do not receive your CampusCard by mail, please apply for a second issuance no later than four weeks after your enrolment has been confirmed, otherwise it will be subject to a fee.
Information regarding the layout
There are currently three versions of the CampusCard, all of which are valid. However, for first-time and new issuances, only the latest layout with the QR code of the ‘European Student Card’ will be issued. All layouts retain the addition to the former RMV ticket: ‘Alle Linien Verbundnetz und NVV + VRN Übergangsstarifgebiete’. This addition is invalid, cannot be removed for technical reasons and should therefore be ignored.
Functions of the CampusCard
Once you have activated your CampusCard’s pass function at one of the h_da media centres (German), you can use it to borrow library items. Simply activate the library function at one of the centre’s service counters.
Once activated, a chip integrated into the CampusCard serves as a key for several rooms and areas of the university. Please refer to the key issuance department to activate the function.
The CampusCard serves as a ticket for free entrance to several theatres as well as to the State Museum in Darmstadt. The following theatres are included:
- Staatstheater Darmstadt
- Theater im Moller-Haus
- HoffART-Theater
- Theater im Pädagog
Please note that premieres, guest performances, special events and performances for children are generally excluded from free admission.
Further information can be found on the website of the AStA (German).
Extending validity: Re-validation
The CampusCard also houses a special Thermo-Rewrite-Strip, which needs to be re-printed every new semester at one of the (re-)validation machines dotted around the university. Re-validation is possible once you have paid your semester contribution.
Your CampusCard is unusable without a valid expiry date!
