Upgrade period coming to an end
Upgrade your travel pass now

Travel throughout Germany on regional public transport – this has been possible for all students at Heinrich Heine University (HHU) via their travel pass since 1 April 2024. To ensure that the HHU card is accepted during a ticket check, it needs to be reprogrammed. You can do this at three machines up to 31 May 2024. To be on the safe side, anyone who used one of the machines to do this before 1 April should check that their card was reprogrammed correctly by simply laying it on one of the machines again. This is because some ticket check machines are displaying the message “not valid for travel” when cards reprogrammed before April are presented.

The HHU card is now a travel pass for all regional public transport throughout Germany – as long as you reprogramme it at a corresponding machine by the end of May.

“Many of our students have already reprogrammed their cards. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all those who have not done so that this is possible up to the end of May,” says David-Luc Adelmann from the General Student’s Committee (AStA). “After this date, cards that have not been reprogrammed will no longer be valid.”

The HHU card, i.e. your student ID card, can be reprogrammed at the Student Services Centre (SSC) and at the University and State Library. The process takes just a few seconds and all you need to do is lay the card on the corresponding machine. You can complete this process during normal opening hours (SSC: Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., University and State Library: Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday/Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.) up to the end of May. 

The Student Services team would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
