Is the card immediately usable?

In order to use the UNIcard, please complete the following steps

  1. Sign the back of the UNIcard.
  2. Activate and update your card at a UNIcard station. When you activate the card, the relevant validity information will be printed. This information will relate to the current semester informations for students.
  3. We recommend setting up a personal account for your UNIcard at Polyright Cashless. In the event of loss of a card, the card holder may block their card at any time. From spring 2019 on, the Polyright Cashless Cloud can be used to load money on to the UNIcard account online.

The UNIcard must be updated every semester at a UNIcard station.
