Activating / Updating the UNIcard

The UNIcard is valid for the entire length of study at the University of Basel. Before first use, the UNIcard has to be activated once via one of the designated UNIcard stations. The UNIcard can be updated every semester via one of the designated UNIcard stations. In order to do this, the semester registration must have been completed and the tuition fees paid.

New semester validity information can be printed each semester from 2 February (spring semester) and from 2 August (fall semester) on by updating the UNIcard on one of the UNIcard stations. For a valid UNIcard during semester pause, the validity date is extended with additional 60 days after the academic semester closing (31.1., 31.7.). The  personal details on the card remain valid even if the student changes the degree program, transfers from bachelor to master’s studies or from master’s studies to a doctoral program, or takes a leave of absence.
