JU Bremen is legally bound to the BSAG/VBN semester ticket contract and thus, a dispensation can only be granted for the predetermined reasons, as stated in the contract.

You may apply for semester ticket dispensation only if:

• you are doing an official study abroad/internship semester, outside the semester ticket area   (no leave of absence)
• you are required by a company, research facility, etc., to spend more than 120 consecutive calendar days outside the semester ticket area, for mandatory study purposes  
• you have a handicap pass (Schwerbehindertenausweis) and are eligible for free transportation

Please note that if your dispensation is granted you will not be charged with a semester fee charge (university fees still apply) and you will not receive a semester ticket. It will not be possible to receive it at a later moment in the semester, even if you had to return to Bremen and need your semester ticket.

To apply for the dispensation, please use this form.

To request a new semester ticket, please use this form.

Your request will be processed with priority. You will be notified via email once the ticket is ready to collect. You can pick it up during the office hours in RLH 102. You will be asked to pay 20 €.
