The previous student IDs are still valid and will therefore not be exchanged. Like the new student IDs, they will continue to be validated each semester, and the validity of the card will then be updated in the chip inside the card. Therefore, the information previously printed on the gray strip will be deleted when the cards are validated from May.

Once the imprint on the gray stripe has been deleted, the ID card is then also only valid together with an official photo identity card (ID or passport) and a current enrollment certificate (Studienbescheinigung).

As a VVS ticket, the student ID is then only valid together with an official photo identity card and the VVS enrollment certificate for the current semester, which can be downloaded from the Student Services in HohCampus.

As technical adjustments to the student ID were necessary and the appearance of the ID no longer corresponded to the current corporate design of the University of Hohenheim, the technical features and layout of the ID were revised:

The new student ID, which will be issued from May 2024, no longer includes a photo, and the information on the degree program, subject-related semesters, and faculty is no longer printed on it. As with the previous student ID card, the new ID card must be validated each semester. The validity of the ID card for the new semester will be updated in the chip inside the card.

The new student ID is therefore only valid together with an official photo identity card (ID or passport) and a current enrollment certificate (Studienbescheinigung).

As a VVS ticket, the new student ID is only valid together with an official photo identity card and the VVS enrollment certificate for the current semester, which can be downloaded from the Student Services in HohCampus.
