Non-utilization of the semester ticket

If you do not use your semester ticket because you have other means of transportation such as a car or a bicycle, the mobility fee cannot be reimbursed.
The semester ticket is a solidary financed ticket for which all regular students pay the same contribution. The semester ticket is available to all regular students and is only so much cheaper than conventional public transport tickets because of the solidarity financing – currently the prices differ by a factor of ten.
According to § 53 para. 2 no. 5 of the North Rhine-Westphalia Higher Education Act, the student body is responsible, among other things, for looking after the economic and social interests of its members – i.e. all students. On this basis, the student body has concluded a contract on the AVV and NRW semester ticket with Aachener Verkehrsverbund GmbH (AVV), Aachener Straßenbahn und Energieversorgungs-AG (ASEAG) and DB-Regio NRW.
This contract results in the obligation to pay the mobility fee: According to § 1 para. 10 of the AVV Semester Ticket Contract: “Non-utilization of the transportation service does not constitute a claim for reimbursement of transportation fees.”

Reimbursement of the mobility contribution will be made according to the social regulations of the student body of RWTH Aachen. If you have any questions regarding the refund, please feel free to send an email to semesterticket@asta.rwth-aachen.de.
