HHU Card
The HHU card combines your student ID, canteen card, library ID and “DeutschlandTicket” travel pass (monthly ticket covering travel on regional public transport throughout Germany) in one single card. It is sent out to students by registered post several weeks after enrolment.
To activate your HHU card, you first need to activate your university username and then activate the card itself in a second step.
As a student, you will receive a mail containing your activation code and an activation link after enrolment. To find your student ID number, log into the application portal and look under “Personal information”.
Employees will receive their university username and activation link in their employing unit. There is no HHU card for employees.
If you have already been enrolled at HHU, your old university username will still be valid for your new studies or employment and will not require reactivation.
