4. Your consent

  • Student secretary
    Pursuant to section 2 (Applications for Enrolment) of the Hessian Student Enrolment Ordinance (Hessische
    Immatrikulationsverordnung), the applicant is obliged to submit his/her personal data to the university or institute of higher
    education to which he/she is applying. Without this personal data it will be impossible to complete enrolment.
  • Library
    Your student identification card (Goethe Card) is simultaneously your library card. Without your consent to the archiving of
    personal data it will be impossible to activate your library card and borrowing account, as well as to activate the personalised
    Internet messaging system and to use the system for borrowing and ordering books and other materials.
  • Computer centre
    You will not be able to activate or delete your account. Computer centre accounts and the personalised Internet messaging
    system, which requires a computer centre account, will not be accessible (e.g. e-mail and WLAN).

5. Electronic payment system

  • Your student identification card contains an electronic payment function that enables cashless payment of small sums within
    the University, in some libraries and in the student union of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University. The processing of
    payments is the responsibility of the student union. Cashless payments are processed by recording the payment amount and
    the bank account details of the payer and communicating this data to the relevant bank.
  • Payment takes place anonymously, i.e. the cashier at the payment desk books the amount to be paid on the card and this is
    then stored on a shadow account on the computer system using only the serial number of the card. Data on purchases and
    consumption are not stored in the system. The cashier can not view the name or the library account no. of the cardholder. This
    data may only be transferred when it is required in cases of breakdown of the electronic payment system.
  • The use of the electronic payment system is voluntary.
