There is no entitlement to use the card beyond the expiry date. Cardholders whose CampusCard has passed its expiry date should contact the card office at their university to have the validity of the card updated. The CampusCard will then be reassigned to the then valid tariff the next time it is used.

Payment of credit balances

Credits from valid cards can be paid out at the cash desks of the cafeterias and CaféBars of the Studierendenwerk Oldenburg. Payment is made on presentation of the CampusCard. There is no authorisation check of the person presenting the card.
