JLU ID Card
Students, staff, as well as certain guests and partners, will receive an ID in the form of a chip card at Justus Liebig University Giessen, which has multiple functions.
Here's how you can obtain your JLU chip card
For your time at Justus Liebig University Giessen, we will issue you a (JLU) chip card. We distinguish between the following card types:
Student ID
For students and enrolled doctoral students
Staff ID card (JLU chip card for staff)
For active state civil servants, as well as salaried employees and trainees with a state contract, in short: anyone with the LandesTicket for Hessen (= individuals with a JLU employee number)
Personalized JLU chip card
For interns, student and research assistants, teaching staff, senior instructors, JLU scholarship holders in FB11, and retired professors (individuals with a JLU employee number).
Non-personalized JLU chip card
For scholarship holders in Faculties 01-10 and in the research centers, doctoral candidates (not enrolled and without an employment contract), habilitation candidates, as well as individuals who have a service contract with JLU and require access to rooms and/or parking lots. This includes, for example, employees of maintenance companies, consulting firms, or suppliers.
The functions of your JLU chip card
The JLU chip card opens doors and gates.
With the JLU chip card, you can use the electronic locking system of Justus Liebig University Giessen. In certain buildings, you can open and close doors with it. You can also use the lockers and gated parking areas. The access rights must be applied for separately.
