Via the Selfservice you can access and change information on your BlueCard.

Here, students upload their photo for the BlueCard and can decide whether their BlueCard should be generated with or without a chip. This process orders the BlueCard.

Students will be notified of BlueCard completion via an email to their @rwth-aachen.de address.
