The surcharge is a subscription that can be cancelled on a monthly basis, just like the Deutschland-Ticket. You’ll have to renew your subscription for each semester. The surcharge is calculated from the difference between the 49 euros for the Deutschlandticket and the semester ticket portion of the social contribution (broken down into monthly payments).

Only students who want to upgrade their VRR and NRW ticket to the Deutschland-Ticket will have to take out the additional (monthly) subscription. If you only travel in NRW, the regular semester ticket remains your best option.
