Information on the Campus.Card at a glance
Seven functions in one card
The Campus.Card combines seven functions in one card:
- Student ID card for the legitimation of the holder
- Library card
- VBB semester ticket (students only)
- Payment card in the canteens and cafeterias of the Studentenwerk Potsdam
- Print, scan, and copy card
- Key to buildings 2, 4, 5, 17 and A
- Payment card for the washing machines in the student dormitories of the Studentenwerk Potsdam
First issue of the Campus.Card
For first-time and newly enrolled students, the Campus.Card will be issued after payment of the semester fee has been received at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and sent by post together with the enrolment form (BAföG certificate, proof for child benefit fund, offices and authorities). This can take a few days. However, we make every effort to send all documents promptly.
The initial issue for employees takes place as part of the employment procedure.
Locations of the cash recycling machines
Amounts of money can be charged to the Campus.Card using an EC card (electronic purse). The amounts have been set by the Studentenwerk Potsdam. A minimum of 10 Euro and a maximum of 50 Euro can be charged to the card. Upcharges with cash in any amount can be made at the cafeteria cash desks. However, it is recommended not to top up more than 50 Euro. It is of course possible to pay in cash in the refectory and cafeteria. Use is voluntary.
The cash reload machines can be found at the dish return in the refectory and at the cash machine to the left of the library.
Validation stations
Before using the Campus.Card for the first time and after each re-registration in the following semester, the Campus.Card must be validated (made valid or updated). After the validity has expired, the card must be validated again. This is done by simply inserting it into the validation station. The time for validation can, of course, also take place at an earlier point in time. Validation machines can be found in the foyer of the main building, to the left of the library entrance and in the refectory next to the cash machine.

The replacement card costs 20 Euro according to the fee statutes of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. This fee is waived in the event of a name change, theft or technical defect of the Campus.card.
