Current information about the Semesterticket for winter term 2024/25
June 17, 2024
The semester ticket for the winter semester 24/25 will again only be available as an online ticket in your Zedat account.
It will only be valid as a digital ticket, in combination with an ID document, on a digital device (cell phone, laptop, iPod, tablet). It is not possible to print it out (we tried very hard to change this, but unfortunately it was not accepted). This means that the ticket inspectors will not accept the ticket in paper form or as a screenshot.
Eligible students can obtain the Deutschlandsemesterticket via their ZEDAT portal. By clicking on Deutschlandsemesterticket under Services for students, you will be redirected to the RIDE app. This is where students receive their ticket. You can then show the ticket as a QR code and save it on your cell phone, for example in a digital wallet.
The ticket is a solidarity ticket, i.e. all students receive the ticket and can only be exempted from it with a valid reason for exemption. You can find the reasons for exemption here: https://astafu.de/en/en/semesterticket/faq/exemption#who-is-entitled-to-apply-for-an-exemption
After long negotiations, we have managed to include doctoral students in the ticket again! Yeah
Your re-registration request therefore includes the ticket price, which you must pay.
Unfortunately, it is no longer a reason for exemption to do a doctorate at the FU from the winter semester onwards. However, doctoral candidates can still be exempted for all the other reasons for exemption listed here: https://astafu.de/en/en/semesterticket/faq/exemption#who-is-entitled-to-apply-for-an-exemption
Our exemption forms are currently being revised and are therefore not up to date. However, you can use them provisionally for an application with a valid reason for exemption.
! Please remember! Bicycle transportation is no longer included in the new ticket!

Dear students,
Here is the information that you also received by e-mail from the Student Administration.
The semester ticket is now only valid as a digital ticket, in combination with an ID document, on a digital device (cell phone, laptop, iPod, tablet). It is not possible to print it out (we tried very hard to change this, but unfortunately it was not accepted). This means that the ticket inspectors will not accept the ticket in paper form.
Eligible students can obtain the Deutschlandsemesterticket via their ZEDAT portal. By clicking on Deutschlandsemesterticket under Services for students, you will be redirected to the RIDE app. This is where students receive their ticket. You can then show the ticket as a QR code and save it on your cell phone, for example in a digital wallet.
From 01 April 2024, the Campuscard can no longer be used as a semester ticket
, but will continue to be valid as mensa card and in the libraries. Think of validating it!

The ticket will be available as a Qr code via your personal Zedat page. You will find out more details today! in an e-mail from the student administration! One thing is certain: The ticket will be available before April 1st!
The ticket will only be valid via a digital device. This means that it will not be accepted in paper form. We really tried to avert this, but unfortunately VBB and BVG were not prepared to make any changes on this point.
You will receive the semester ticket in the summer semester 2024 as a discounted nationwide Germany semester ticket for €181.40 per semester (€176.40 ticket, €5 contribution to the social fund). The draft contract for the Deutschlandsemesterticket provides for fundamental changes to the groups of people who are entitled to the Deutschlandsemesterticket.
The following groups of people are not entitled to a ticket and are excluded from using the Deutschlandsemesterticket:
- Doctoral students
- Distance learning students
- Students in continuing education Master's degree programs
All other students who are full-time students at the FU receive the ticket! Also people with a firm ticket.
The following exceptions apply to:
The following groups of people can! be exempted from the Deutschlandsemesterticket:
1. students who spend at least three consecutive months of the respective semester outside the area of validity of the Deutschlandsemesterticket for study-related reasons
2. students who are enrolled at two universities with a Deutschlandsemesterticket can be reimbursed at one university
3. for students who are demonstrably enrolled more than one month after the start of the semester, are exmatriculated in the current semester, withdraw their enrolment, are granted a leave of absence with retroactive effect in the current semester or are demonstrably so seriously ill in the current semester that they would be entitled to a semester of leave of absence
4. students who are unable to use public transportation due to their disability. This also includes temporary disabilities if they also preclude the use of local public transport for the semester. The requirements must be proven by a medical certificate.
5. students who are taking a semester off. The fee must first be paid, only then can you submit an application for exemption to us.
Non-use of the semester ticket is not a reason for exemption! reason for exemption!
Unfortunately students who study part time are not eligible for an exemtion anymore.
Campus Card:
The Campus Card will continue to be used as a
- student ID card,
- library card and
- MensaCard
and must be validated to maintain its validity. However, it will no longer be valid as proof of the semester ticket. The new semester ticket will probably be available as a digital ticket, more detailed information is still pending. We will inform you in good time before the start of the semester.
Please refrain from sending questions by e-mail.
We would also like to point out that the exemption forms currently need to be revised due to changes to the contracts. The reasons for exemption on these forms are therefore not up to date. What is currently valid is what is written here on the website!
All statements without guarantee.
status from January 16th, 2024
Next week you will receive the re-registration request with a new amount for the semester ticket and a modified semester ticket.
Starting with the summer semester 2024, you will receive the semester ticket as a discounted Deutschlandticket that can be used for regional trains throughout Germany for 181,40 € per semester (176,40€ Ticket, 5,-€ social fund). The ticket will not be printed on the Campuscard as previously but can be obtained digitally.
The conditions for using the ticket and the basis for exemptions from the semester ticket will change in the coming semester. For this reason, you cannot currently submit any exemptions to us.
We will keep you informed about further developments here. Please refrain from contacting us directly for the time being.
Unfortunately, doctoral students are excluded from the semester ticket for the summer semester 2024. You did not have to pay for the semester ticket when you re-registered this time. An alternative to the semester ticket is, for example, the 49-euro ticket. Please inform yourselves about this.
