FH SWF App

Student ID card, semester ticket, and more...

New - the FH SWF App!

Introduction

The new FH SWF App is an enhanced version of the previous UniNow app, combining various features that were previously covered by the Chiporello card, for example. The range of features will gradually expand through future updates.

The FH SWF App will be available from 14 November 2025, replacing the Chiporello student and library ID card as well as the semester ticket download. These functions will be accessible directly within the app. However, any existing Chiporello cards or printed semester tickets will remain valid for the current semester.

From February 2026 onwards, these services will be provided exclusively through the FH SWF App, meaning the previous Chiporello cards will no longer be valid.

FH SWF App – Features and Quick Guide

Student ID card

The FH SWF App replaces the Chiporello card as the official student ID card at the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences. Users can optionally add a photo within the app; this image is stored locally on their device.

Library card

The FH SWF App replaces the Chiporello card, which is used as a library card at the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences' branch libraries.

Semester ticket

The semester ticket has also been integrated into the app. From February 2026 onwards, it will only be available through the app.

Easy access to university information

The FH SWF app gives you access to a range of university services. You can use it to check your exam results, read your emails, view the canteen menu, and access shortcuts to Moodle and other important university websites.

Additional features

The app also includes a calendar and notes function, a news feed and a job portal, all of which are managed by the app provider UniNow. The job portal features vacancies from South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences. Please note that no student data is shared with companies posting job offers.
