Rules for the Mecenat Travel-symbol

New! The travel-symbol only available in the Mecenat app!

From autumn 2018 local busses and trains will only accept the travel-symbol on electronic Mecenat cards, that are available in the Mecenat app.

Mecenat will therefore stop printing the travel-symbol on students’ JU-cards. The travel symbols that have been printed on cards so far are now invalid and cannot be used for travel discounts.

The student travel-symbol will no longer be printed on SMS-certificates. The SMS-certificates that are sent will not be valid for travelling with student discount.

How often do I have to update my JU Card?

All students must update the JU Card each semester after they've registered so that the period of validity on the card is extended.
