Campus CaRT (Student ID) and HIP

The CampusCaRT is Reutlingen University's multi-functional chip-card. This smart card has a range of functions:

• it acts as your student ID card
• it allows you to borrow books and other media from the University Library
• you can use it to make cashless payments in the cafeteria (Mensa) and in other places run by the "Studentenwerk Tübingen"
• it can be used for printing, scanning and photocopying on campus
• you can use it to perform a variety of administrative tasks via the Hochschul-Informations-Portal (HIP), such as changes in your contact details, verification and printing of certificates (including registration certificates), and re-registration at the beginning of a new semester.  

HIP, the university's online administration system, was introduced in 2007 and is gradually being extended to cover a wider range of functions in order to permit simpler and faster services for students.
