What is the semester ticket?

In the summer semester of 2024, the nationwide semester ticket was introduced at the University of Rostock for the first time – a semester ticket that allows students to use public transport throughout Germany.

We will also be using the nationwide semester ticket in the winter semester 2024/25. The conditions of the Deutschlandticket apply.

The semester ticket is based on the principle of solidarity: every student pays for the semester ticket with their semester fee, regardless of whether they want to use the ticket or not. In this way, every fellow student finances the extremely favourable conditions under which the majority of students can use public transport.

What do I have to do to be able to use the semester ticket?

All students who are currently enrolled or re-registered for the winter semester only need to download the VVW app and register with their university email address. If you already have an account with the correct email address, you can continue to use it. If you do not have an account yet, you need to create one in the app.

Instructions on how to register in the app will be published here soon. (If you encounter any problems with the visibility of your ticket after you have registered correctly, please contact the VVW.)

This means that it is currently NOT necessary for you to register in our administration portal to use the ticket in the winter semester. Until further notice, we will only use this portal to issue tickets for the current summer semester.

Where can I find my semester ticket?

The semester ticket is primarily made available in the VVW app. The option of applying for a chip card with sufficient justification remains available. If you already have a chip card, you do not need to apply for a new one.

You can find the form for the chip card application right underneath this paragraph.
