Compared to the old paper student IDs the new CampusCards are:

• More durable
• More counterfeit proof
• Cheaper

• Student ticket for bus and train with TRW technology (ThermoReWrite)
• ID function with an optional passport photo
• Integrated “Mensa-card” for anonymous payment
• Library card for borrowing - After prior registration in the university library.

The CampusCard is not an official document, therefore it cannot be used in examinations as a substitute for an identity card or passport.

The cards contain no personal information of the students electronically. The terminals get all the personal data online without storing personal information, and the photos made when issuing the card are discarded. The communication between the server and the terminals is encrypted.

Students are issued a one-time QR-code, which can be used to print a personalised student ID at one of the three terminals. This process takes about 1 minute (Campusmanagementportal my.udk: my studies - requested reports / reports).
After using the QR-code it is possible to print a card with or without a passport photo. Photos are taken by the terminal. Cards without a passport photo are not valid without another official document which contains a photo.
After receiving the card, it has to be validated at one of the four validation terminals. These print the validity on the card. This has to be done once every semester.
The Validation can be printed 8-10 working days after the semester fee has been paid. In the campusmanagementportal my.udk, you can check whether you have already been confirmed so that the update can be made.

The cards can be printed here:
Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin - 4th floor at StudyGuide (can only be used during StudyGuide opening hours)
Hardenbergstraße 33, 10623 Berlin - Ground floor, around the corner to the right, by the snack machines

A valid QR-code is needed to use the terminals. You will receive this one-time usable QR code in the campus management portal my.udk in the area "My studies" - "Bescheide / Bescheinigungen".

The QR-code can be scanned from a smartphone or tablet display. If you do not want to use a device, you can print the pdf.

After the card has been issued, it needs to be validated. This can be done at the following terminals:
Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin - 4th floor at StudyGuide (can only be used during StudyGuide opening hours)
Hardenbergstraße 33, 10623 Berlin - Ground floor, around the corner to the right, by the snack machines

The validation terminals are available during the opening times of the buildings. 

We are currently working on the UdK's own instruction video.
