Provisional Cards for International Students / Student Restaurants + MDV

International students can pick up provisional cards for student restaurants and public transport.

• In order to receive your provisional card, please bring your certificate of enrolment and your photo ID card.
• The provisional ticket for public transport (MDV) can be used as a valid ticket for transportation with busses and trains/trams within the MDV (Central German Transportation Association) transport network. It is valid until 30 April 2018. After that day, only your UniCard is valid.
  Make sure you always carry your photo ID card and certificate of enrolment with you in case of ticket controls.
• Both provisional cards are reserved exclusively for students who are newly enrolled international students of the University of Leipzig who do not receive their UniCard before 1 April 2018.
• From 26 March 2018, the provisional cards for student restaurants and public transport are handed out at our Student Service Center (SSZ), desk 5.
