How long is the htw saar card valid?

How can I update the information on my htw saar card (validation)?
Before updating your card, you must re-register for the new semester. After that, insert your card into a validation machine and wait a few seconds while the thermal strip in the lower part of the card is reprinted. The card will then display the current validity period and the logo of the Saarländischer Verkehrsverbund (saarVV).
Why does the card carry the saarVV logo?
The logo means that you have paid the fees for the semester ticket and are therefore entitled to use saarVV public transportation. If you are eligible for reimbursement by the AStA for the costs of the semester ticket, the card will only display the validity period without the saarVV logo.

Rotenbühl Campus: In the hallway to the cafeteria
Göttelborn Campus: Inside the workshop building (Werkstattgebäude)
