UniCard guest cards

UniCard guest cards are issued primarily in order to grant access to electronically secured buildings and certain rooms within university facilities. UniCard guest cards can only be applied for by university institutions. 

The hosting institution will be charged with an administrative fee of 20 €.

If you or your guests do not require the access function, please choose the Mensacard for use of the Mensa and the UB guest card for external users for borrowing from the university library.

Guest cards issued before 2022-07-13 cannot be renewed after expiry but need to be exchanged (free of charge). Plesase send an E-Mail to gaeste@unicard.uni-freiburg.de


 

Important! Changed procedure regarding card requests for personalised guest cards:

Requests for guest cards will have to be made by the personnel administrations of the faculties and institutions. The paper application is no longer required.

Einrichtungskarten

Information on the ordering process and a distinction from personalized guest cards can be found here: https://wiki.uni-freiburg.de/campusmanagement/doku.php?id=hisinone:bearbeiten:allgemein:unicardeinrichtungskarte (German only, accessible after logging in with UniAccount).

 

Note on the refund of remaining credit when returning your old card

Due to the ongoing shortage of staff resources, we ask you (in your own interest) to take care of the refund of the remaining credit on your old card yourself in advance. In order to do so, go to the ServicePoint in the Mensa and ask for the amount remaining on your card to be paid out.

If you return a card with remaining credit, you will receive a PDF after your case has been processed. Take the printed PDF to the service point in the Mensa in order to have the money refunded. However, processing can take up to several weeks.
