HHU Card
Since the beginning of the summer term 2020 the format of your student ID has changed. The HHU Card now works as your combined student ID, mensa card, library card and public transportation ticket.
Students receive their university username (Uni-Kennung) and initial password together with their HHU Card via mail. Upon receiving these information, you should first activate your university username and afterwards your HHU Card.
