Germany semester ticket for students

Students at Osnabrück University will be able to take advantage of the "Deutschland-Semesterticket" for the first time from the winter semester 2024/2025, starting on October 1, 2024. The "Deutschland-Semesterticket" replaces the previous semester ticket. The fee for the Deutschland-Semesterticket must be paid together with the semester fee for the respective semester.  Information on the amount and composition of the semester fee can be found under Costs of Studying.

The ticket can be purchased via  Ride.

As it is a solidarity contribution, just like the previous semester ticket, exemption from the fee for the "Deutschland-Semesterticket" is only possible upon timely application and under certain conditions. Therefore, please note:
Application deadline and form
The  application for an exemption from the Deutschland-Semesterticket (PDF, 156 kB) for a summer semester must be submitted to the Admissions Office by May 31 and for an exemption for a winter semester by November 30 of a year (cut-off deadlines in each case) by  email in PDF format.

Important to know

• As long as students are enrolled at Osnabrück University, the digital ticket can be accessed via  Ride.
• The Campuscard will then no longer serve as proof of entitlement to travel on public transport. The Deutschland-Semesterticket for students must be carried separately in digital form!
• The ticket is valid for one semester unless the student's status changes or an application for exemption is made.
• As soon as students are de-registered, the entitlement and the possibility of accessing the "Deutschlandticket für Studierende" expires.
• In the event of de-registration, reimbursement of the amount paid for the "Deutschlandticket für Studierende" - as well as reimbursement of the other semester fees - is only possible upon timely application! The  application for de-registration (PDF, 100 kB) must be submitted in PDF format by  email to the Admissions Office within one month of the start of lectures (§19 section 6 sentence 4 NHG).

Further information on the Deutschland-Semesterticket can be obtained from the General Students' Committee.
