Troubleshooting
-
The Semesterticket Schleswig-Holstein is a personal ticket. Therefore, authentication is done when ordering. Authentication uses the e-mail address provided by your university. In addition, the date of birth is used. At the universities that have implemented the single-sign-on procedure (so-called Shibboleth), you log in with your university's access data (matriculation number/e-mail address and password) during the order process. If the Shibboleth procedure is not yet available at your university, enter your last name as well. This allows for your authorisation to be automatically checked in the background.
During authentication, a check is also made as to whether the semester contribution has been paid in full. The Semesterticket can only be ordered once the contribution has been received. Please note that it may take a up to two weeks for the bank transfer to be processed by the university's system. If, after transferring the contribution, it is not possible to order, please try again in the next few days.
-
In addition to the information required for authentication, you only need to upload a photo of yourself. This is necessary because the Semesterticket is a personal ticket valid only for you. It is important that it is a recent photo and your face is easily recognizable - like on an ID card. But you do not need to have a passport photo taken by a photographer.
If you opt for the paper ticket, you must also specify the postal address to which your Semesterticket is to be sent.
All data will be used exclusively to process the order and to issue the Semesterticket. Data is collected and processed in accordance with data protection regulations. The privacy policy (german) can be found here.
-
No, for one semester either the mobile ticket or the paper ticket can be issued, but not both ticket media. When ordering for the following semester, you can of course opt for the other output form. It is not possible to change the output medium during the semester.
-
Once you have successfully completed the order of the Semesterticket, an order confirmation will be sent to you immediately by e-mail. The confirmation will be sent to the e-mail address you received from the university and state when you placed the order. It contains a ticket number. The order confirmation (e-mail) is not valid as a travel authorization.
The mobile ticket is available immediately.
- Have you already used the Semesterticket as a mobile ticket? Order it like last time. Once you have received the order confirmation, you do not need to do anything else - your existing mobile ticket will automatically update to the new semester on the first day of the semester. You can see this from about 10 days before the semester begins: On the third page of the mobile ticket, you will find a message that the ticket has been loaded for the following month, but you can only see it from the first day of the semester.
- Have you never had the Semesterticket as a mobile ticket? Please note that you must activate the mobile ticket once before first using it on your smartphone. For that, please proceed as follows:
- Open the NAH.SH app, which is available for Android (requires version 8.0 or higher), iOS (requires version 14.5 or higher) and Huawei for free.
- From the app's menu, select "Semesterticket" and then "Add Semesterticket".
- Enter your date of birth and your personal ticket number, which you received with the order confirmation.
- You can now travel with your personal Semesterticket.
The paper ticket will be issued and dispatched within three working days, so it should be delivered after about one week. The dispatch takes place at the earliest 6 weeks before the beginning of the semester. It will be delivered to the postal address stated in the order. Please sign it with your first name and surname, then adhere the ticket as explained in the cover letter. Your paper ticket is then valid.
The Semesterticket is valid from the first day of the semester specified on it, not before.
