Troubleshooting
Every semester, the card must be validated at one of the validation machines (next to information desk in the Student Registry). Insert card into machine. After approx. 15 seconds, you will hear printing, then the card will slide out slowly.
If the old data is still printed on the card surface, you have not properly re-registered. Please see your study program counselor at the Student Registry.
If the card appears without any data printed on, it may be dirty or scratched. Please try again. Do not use strong detergents when cleaning the card. Carry the card in protective cover and do not bend.
