Student’s Identification number, ID-card and University Access Card

Student

Matriculation Number

The matriculation number is a personal identification number – a specific identification which associates the respective person in a register of persons.

During the enrolment process for study (immatricualtion), a personal number is assigned to each student and is only valid in the university context.

The number is assigned only once. If a student pauses his/her study course and resumes later on, s/he will receive the “old” matriculation number. Thus, pseudonymisation is assured, especially when personal data is released, such as the announcement of exam results.

For the protection of your personal data and in your own interest, please make sure that your personal matriculation number is inaccessible to unauthorised third parties.

Student ID

Once they have enrolled properly, students can access their digital student ID and library card in the UniNow app. This app also includes features such as a calendar, email client, to-do organiser and canteen menu.

It is important to ensure that the ‘HAW Kiel’ app from UniNow is installed. The download links are as follows:

Students must log in with their student email address and password to use the app.

University Access Cards

At HAW Kiel, university access cards are issued for access to parking lots, buildings, and rooms. Information on the issuance procedure is available on the website of the Department of Construction, Real Estate, and Occupational Safety.

Note: University student ID cards issued up to the 2025/26 winter semester that include a photo and student ID number will continue to function as access cards and will not be replaced.
