FAUcard
The FAUcard is a multifunctional chip card that also serves as an ID card for students and doctoral candidates.
It combines the functions of a student or doctoral candidate ID card, a University Library card, a wallet, and an electronic access control card. This chip card will be sent to your German address approximately 6 weeks after you enroll at FAU.
The FAUcard must be validated before you use it for the first time and at the beginning of each new semester. Vending machines are available for this purpose at various locations throughout the university. If you want to use the card’s payment function, for example to pay for meals in the cafeteria, you must first top up credit onto the chip. Several vending machines are available for this purpose across the university.
Further information about the FAUcard can be found on our website.
