FAQ
What is the DSemTix and how can I buy it?
DSemTix is a nationwide offer for student unions that provides a semester ticket valid for all public transport within Germany. The ticket is purchased jointly by all students as a solidarity model. This means that all students receive the Germany semester ticket at a lower price than the regular Germany ticket. The DSemTix is included in the semester fee and therefore does not need to be purchased separately.
The DSemTix replaces the previous Lower Saxony semester ticket.
Further information on the validity of DSemTix can be found at http://www.dein-semesterticket.de/.
What does the DSemTix cost?
DSemTix is linked to the price of the Deutschlandticket and costs 60% of the current Deutschlandticket price. Currently, the DSemTix costs €34.80 per month, or €208.80 per semester. These costs are included in the semester fee. If the Deutschlandticket (currently €59/month) becomes more expensive in the future, this link will remain in place.
How is DSemTix offered?
DSemTix is a purely digital ticket service and can be accessed via the Leuphana University app. Students who are unable to access the ticket digitally can apply for a chip card. However, the number of chip cards available is very limited, which is why we can only order them for students who have no other way of accessing DSemTix. Once the chip card has been issued, the digital semester ticket will be blocked.
To order a chip card, fill out this application form and send it to .
Are there refunds and hardship regulations?
It will still be possible to have the DSemTix refunded in cases of hardship. Students who do not fall under the hardship regulations cannot have their ticket refunded under any circumstances. We also do not cover accidental duplicate purchases if they are due to individual fault. You can find more detailed information on hardship cases and the respective applications here.

9 € ticket refunds from SoSe 2022
All students who have paid their semester fee in the summer semester 2022 can have the overpaid money refunded until 31.12.2025 (except for Students of the Professional School and students who have received a refund by other means).
Why again?
For your semester ticket, which you can use for bus transport in the district of Lüneburg and local trains in Lower Saxony and Bremen, you paid € 157.67 in the summer semester 2022. With the introduction of the so-called 9-euro ticket, your semester ticket for the months of June, July and August has become obsolete. For these months, we therefore only pay the bus and train companies 9 euros per student per month.
You will therefore get € 51.84 of your semester fee for the summer semester 2022 back!
As we do not have your bank details, we cannot automatically transfer this contribution to all students.
Therefore, every student must apply for reimbursement of the €51.84 using this form.
The application must be filled out by hand and sent to the AStA by post or drop-off.
All students who have paid their semester fee in the summer semester 2022 are eligible to apply (excluding Students of the Professional School and students who have received a refund by other means).
The refund option is available to all eligible students until December 31, 2025. We ask you to submit your application as soon as possible.
