Semester ticket

With a valid student ID card, you have unlimited access to the public transport lines of the Regensburger Verkehrsverbund (RVV) during the lecture period and the semester holidays. You just need to make sure that your student ID card is validated. 

The cost of this so-called "semester ticket" is included in the mandatory semester fee, which must be paid each semester at the time of registration or re-registration.

If you are interested in purchasing the "Deutschlandticket" on top of your semester ticket at a discounted rate, please check the web page of theRVV.

Disabled students who are entitled to free public transportation and who have the disability card and the attached sheet with the sticker can apply to the Studierendenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz Social Counseling  department for partial reimbursement.

Important: From 1 January 2026, the train route Münchsmünster - Sinzing will no longer be covered by the RVV ticket. To find out more, please read the available informationon the RVV website.

Library card

The OTH Regensburg card also serves as a library card. If you lose your card, you must inform the Admissions and Organisation Office and the lending desk in the main library in Seybothstraße (Tel.: 0941/943-1038 or e-mail: bibliothek@oth-regensburg.de) immediately to avoid misuse.

Library cards of the University of Regensburg Library and the State Library Regensburg are also valid at the OTH Regensburg library. You can also borrow materials from the other two libraries with your OTH Regensburg library card.

Further information can be obtained from the pages of the OTH Regensburg Library.

ID card for university sports

Information about sports at Regensburg University and OTH Regensburg

With the OTH Regensburg card you can also participate in university sports. You can activate your card for access to sports at one of the existing validation machines.
If you press the touch screen display, the booking program will appear and you can then book the desired courses. Please note that the basic fee "Participation fee student sports" (in German -Teilnahmegebühr Studierende Sport)  must always be booked, because without booking the basic fee you can not book any additional access passes.

To pay the access fee for university sports, please hold the OTH Regensburg card to the card reader in the front area of the validation machine. Then insert the card laterally into the machine in order to print the access codes. Depending on the booked program, the following characters will be printed on the OTH Regensburg card:

  • "S15" or "W15" for the basic fee
  • "S15B" or "W15B" for both fitness (weight room) und climbing
  •  "S15C" or "W15C" for climbing
  • "S15F" or "W15F" for fitness (weight room)
  •  "S15K" or "W15K" combi (climbing, fitness/weight room, sauna)

(S is short for summer semester, W is short for winter semester; 23 for the year 2023)

Please contact the information desk at the computer center if you have any questions.
