Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
The Deutschlandsemesterticket currently costs 29.40 euros per month. The price is standardized nationwide. The ticket is paid for in full solidarity by all students with the semester fee for enrolment or re-registration and is therefore particularly inexpensive. This price will remain the same for the winter semester 2024/25.
The ticket is available at ticket.astakassel.de available. There you can log in with the university's uk access data and retrieve the ticket.
The NVV has developed this website, which you can use to show your ticket directly or save it from there, you can find more information about this in our instructions. You don't need an app and the site also works on older devices.
The technical solution of the Deutschlandsemesterticket requires you to log in online with your uk access data on the ticket.astakassel.de website.
However, if you have done this on your smartphone, you have the option of saving the ticket locally on your smartphone as an offline export so that you can access it even if you are in a dead zone or have used up your data volume, for example. We explain exactly how this works in the instructions.
It is important that you always carry out this offline export again at the beginning of a new month, as the Germany semester ticket is regenerated every month, just like the regular Germany ticket.
No, refusal is not a reason for reimbursement.
For students of the Management School of the University of Kassel (UNIKIMS). For them, the amounts for the semester ticket, the bicycle rental system and the culture ticket do not apply. Students on these part-time degree courses spend most of their time working and not studying and are therefore not entitled to the Soli-Deutschlandticket.
If UNIKIMS students decide to continue their studies, they will of course receive a ticket as a non-part-time student.
The CampusCard has been available since 01.05.2024 no longer a semester ticket anymore. Please note that validation is still required every 6 months in order to use the CampusCard for payment and borrowing and as a student ID card. You can find more information about the CampusCard here.
The Deutschland-Ticket is issued as an electronic ticket on smartphones. This ensures verifiability and recognition throughout Germany. You can find instructions on how to use the ticket here.
If you are unable to use a smartphone, e.g. due to a physical impairment, you can contact the AStAdeutschlandticket[at]asta.uni-kassel[dot]deor drop by during the office hours of the Department of Social Affairs - we will find a solution for you to use your Deutschland-Ticket.
Due to the legal requirements of the federal government, the Deutschlandticket is a purely digital ticket. The transport associations can also offer the Deutschlandticket as a chip card as an alternative to the cell phone ticket. For ecological, economic and logistical reasons, however, it makes sense for as many users as possible to load the Deutschlandticket onto their smartphone. However, as described above, we will find a solution for those who cannot use a smartphone.
In addition to the offline export option, it will soon also be possible to save the ticket in Google or Apple Wallet, as soon as this is the case, we will inform you on this page.
Please note that the semester ticket is not transferable to other persons. It is only valid in conjunction with an official photo ID (e.g. passport, identity card, driving license). This must be shown on request during checks and the original semester ticket should always be presented.
The new Deutschlandsemesterticket is subject to the general tariff regulations for the Deutschland-Ticket. It is important for you to note that the individual regional transport associations sometimes have different regulations than the Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund - e.g. for taking bicycles.
In the NVV area, the Deutschlandsemesterticket allows you to take children under 7 years of age who have not started school, bicycles and dogs free of charge. In other transport associations, however, additional costs may be incurred.
Before making a supra-regional journey, it is best to check with the relevant transport associations to see what regulations apply there.
Refund of the semester ticket
Reimbursement of the semester ticket must be applied for each semester.
The submission deadlines always start on: 15.03. for the summer semester and 15.09. for the winter semester.
The deadlines for submitting applications are: 30.04. for the summer semester and 31.10. for the winter semester.
Missing documents can still be submitted up to 2 weeks after this deadline.
Reason for reimbursement State and Hesse ticket
Since there is a considerable additional effort in processing the reimbursement in the AStA due to the reason for applying for a state ticket, special requirements apply:
The following conditions apply :
- There is a processing fee of approx. 8 euros in SoSe 2024 based on the hardship statutes
- All applications for this reason for reimbursement must be submitted directly to in full and correctly
- There is no deadline for submitting missing documents
- Incorrect applications will not be processed and sorted out without notification. Please note our office hours of the secretariat or the Department for Social Affairs and Anti-Discrimination for any queries.
- The state ticket is still a reason for reimbursement, as it is part of the collective bargaining of the state of Hesse, even if it covers a smaller area of validity than the Germany semester ticket newly introduced in SoSe 2024. This is explicitly waived upon application and therefore the Deutschlandticket can no longer be used until the end of the semester on 30.09!
