What you need to know

1. Student ID / Semester ticket It is recommended that you carry your student ID / semester ticket with you. Using your semester ticket allows you to travel with trams, busses and trains in Kassel as well as to cities depicted at the back side of your semester ticket.

2. University of Kassel account, Moodle and Multifunction Card Once we have fetched your student ID and semester ticket you can go to the IT Service Center to activate your University Kassel account. This allows you to access your grades online, to access Moodle (our learning platform with all relevant learning materials) and to receive email via your University email address. Moreover, you will need to order your multifunction card that you will need to borrow books and to pay for copies.

3. Alien Department for Visa (Ausländerbehörde) Earlier you received your 3 months visa to come to Germany. Within these 3 months you need to renew your visa for the time period of your studies. There is a visa office at the University providing the service necessary. Make sure to have the following important documents: • Student ID, • Valid Passport • Biometric Photos • Registration Letter (from city hall) • Proof of Health Insurance • Proof of holding a bank account

4. Orientation Week

We strongly recommend to participate in the Orientation Week. This week allows you to get acquainted with the University of Kassel as well as with the city of Kassel. Moreover, it is a nice opportunity to get to know other international fellow students. What has been enjoyed quite much is the final trip to Goettingen, a nice city nearby Kassel. The orientation week is free of charge, though, you have to sign up in advance.
