By presenting a disabled ID card, you can be granted some relief during your studies. It is therefore useful to apply for a disabled ID card before starting your studies. Social services will provide you with further information on this.
In the following areas, the presentation of a disabled ID card can bring advantages:
• Library services
Students with disabilities can receive special conditions upon presentation of their disabled ID card. Information on this can be obtained from the loans desk (phone: 07071 29-72579). If, in urgent cases, literature from the reference collection is needed for borrowing at home, you can contact the information desk of the General Reading Room (Allgemeiner Lesesaal) (phone 07071 29-72849).
• Refund of part of semester fee
In order to get back part of the student services fee (for public transport), you must submit an application for reimbursement, "Antrag auf Erstattung des ÖPNV-Beitragsanteils”, to student services (Studierendenwerk). Part of the semester fee is earmarked for the "Semesterticket" for public transport (Öffentlicher PersonenNahVerkehr). Students with disabilities can have this amount reimbursed if they have a token in connection with their disabled ID card or if they are entitled to a token which they cannot use. You can obtain both from the social services. With these required proofs, you submit the application for reimbursement to the Studierendenwerk. They will then transfer the corresponding amount to you.

• Allocation of parking spaces
If you regularly need a parking space due to a physical impairment, you can apply for one through the University of Tübingen's parking administration. The University of Tübingen manages several parking lots in the Morgenstelle area as well as down in the town. In the town/valley area, a disabled person's pass with the mark G is usually required.
