Why, how much and where?
In our canteens and cafeterias, you can pay easily, quickly and conveniently with the Campus Card or the university chip card. Chip cards are the regular means of payment for students and staff for canteen meals. Students and staff receive the specified canteen prices in combination with a valid chip card; the guest price must be paid in cash. We also recommend that guests pay much faster with the Campus Card. Payment with the Campus Card is not possible in Wedel.
Incidentally, you can also use the Campus Card to pay at various photocopiers on the Christian-Albrechts-Universität campus.
You can get the Campus Card for €20, €8 starting credit and a €12 deposit at the Kiel, Heide, Flensburg and Lübeck campuses.
You can get the Campus Card in:
- Kiel: in the cafeterias and café lounges as well as in the Mensa Kesselhaus, Schwentine Mensa and in the Dockside
- Lübeck: in the cafeterias and in the Mensa administration office
- Flensburg: in the Mensa café lounge
- Heide: in the canteen
You can top up your card using your EC card or banknotes at the top-up machines in the entrance area of the canteens and check the current amount at the additional card testers. The validity of the Campus Card is limited to a maximum of one year for students. It can be extended at all Campus Card points of sale on presentation of a valid student ID and, if applicable, an identity card.

Tip:
It is best to make a note of the multi-digit black card number printed on the edge. If you lose your Campus Card, you can use this number to block it and pay out any credit on the card.
