Application for exemption from Semesterticket

What is an exemption from the semester ticket?

                                                            In the case of an exemption from the semester ticket, the right to travel is withdrawn and 

                                                            the fees for the semester ticket are refunded.

                                                              The ticket must have been paid for in advance!
