Deutschlandticket upgrade for the semester ticket
Students at Brandenburg and Berlin universities can now upgrade their existing, personal VBB Semesterticket to the Deutschlandticket with nationwide territorial validity on local public transport via a web app. The price results from the difference between the monthly ticket price for the Deutschlandticket and the monthly share for the semester ticket.
How do I get the ticket? Students receive a specific link to the RIDE Campus web app from their respective university. The upgrade is only sold via this link; it cannot be purchased directly from the S-Bahn Berlin.

These students receive information about getting a ticket when they enrol or when their university of choice notifies them about the start of their first semester.
