Unicard

After the enrollment you get your student ID, which allows you to use the trams and busses within Magdeburg free of charge. Additionally, your Unicard serves as your Library ID as well as a pay card. This feature can be used in the university canteen and for copying/printing at the university’s computing center.

The ID card needs to be validated at one of the many validation-machines on campus. The data of the current semester is hereby printed onto the card. Find more information here (in German only).

This is how your Student ID card looks like:
