Disabled students
The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz provides help to disabled students in various forms to ensure that they can study as independently as possible and acquire their degrees without hindrance on the campus. Our range of services is described on this page.
Semester ticket repayment for disabled students
Students with the appropriate "stamp" (supplementary sheet to the disabled person's pass) can apply to the Autonomous Disabled Person's Office of AStA for reimbursement of the value of the semester ticket (currently EUR 135). Applications must be submitted by: May 7 for the summer semester and November 7 for the winter semester. See the web pages of the
AStA Disabled Person's Office for the application form, further information, and details of contact persons.
