Terms and conditions

The Semesterticket is available for all properly enrolled students of the participating universities. It is paid out of the semester fee. It is funded collectively by all students according to the solidarity model.

Participating Hochschulen:

• Kiel | CAU
• Kiel | FH (UAS)
• Kiel | Muthesius Kunsthochschule (Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design)
• Lübeck | Uni
• Lübeck | TH (UAS)
• Lübeck | Musikhochschule (Academy of Music)
• Flensburg | Europa-Universität
• Flensburg | Hochschule (UAS)

Note: At the FH Westküste (Heide), the student body decided not to participate; however, it is possible to participate at a later date.

Exceptions to the group of beneficiaries

The following are excluded from the Semesterticket:

• Guest auditors,
• Students in distance, online and evening courses of study,
• Students in extra-occupational programs, provided that they are not full-time students and therefore their primary occupation is not studying,
• Students of the Kiel University of Applied Sciences in the Faculty of Agriculture.

Students who do not receive the Semesterticket are exempted from paying the Semesterticket contribution.

Furthermore, it is possible for special groups of people to be reimbursed for their contribution to the Semesterticket or - if they are not part of the group of beneficiaries - to voluntarily acquire the Semesterticket.

• The Semesterticket is issued for the duration of each semester. It must be reordered for every semester.
• The Semesterticket's validity period results from the corresponding entry on the ticket. It is valid from the first to the last day of the semester; earlier validity, e.g. for preparatory courses that take place before the semester starts, is not possible. Even if you are in possession of the Semesterticket before the beginning of the semester, it is only valid from the first day of the semester.
• The Semesterticket is valid around the clock during its period of validity, without time restrictions – even before the official start of courses and in the semester break.
• The Semesterticket's validity ends prematurely when students change their status, for example in case of reimbursement in justified cases or premature exmatriculation.

The same conditions apply to the Deutschland-Semesterticket as to the regular Deutschlandticket:

• it is valid for journeys with public short distance transport (train and bus) in 2nd class – throughout Germany with all participating transport companies
• personal ticket, non-transferable, only valid in conjunction with an official photo ID-card
• up to three children under the age of 6 travel on the Semesterticket free of charge
• Taking a dog as well as taking a bicycle is not included in the Deutschlandticket.

 Terms and conditions of the Deutschlandticket in detail

Unlike the Deutschlandticket, the Deutschland-Semesterticket cannot be canceled on a monthly basis.

By decision of the governments, the Deutschlandticket –and therefore also the Deutschland-Semesterticket– is a digital ticket that we provide as mobile phone ticket for your smartphone.

• Download the current version of the NAH.SH app for Android (from version 8.0) and iOS (from version 14.5) to your smartphone. Your mobile ticket will be provided there.
• Only one Deutschlandticket can be used on each smartphone at a time. It is not possible to load multiple Deutschlandtickets onto the same device.

 How to load and order the Semesterticket

If you use a Huawei smartphone, you have the option of loading the mobile ticket into the DB Navigator app from the Huawei AppGallery. This is how it works: You order the mobile ticket as described. After ordering, load the ticket into the DB Navigator (select the „Travel“ menu item and then the plus symbol). There can be no guarantee that this method will work permanently.

We ask for your understanding that we are not allowed to issue the Deutschlandticket as a paper ticket due to legal requirements.

If you cannot use the mobile ticket with your smartphone, please contact your AStA.
