Library fines and penalties
A fine is charged if items are returned late. Items must be returned
no later than 10 minutes before the library closes on the due date.
When you have overdue items or unpaid fines you cannot borrow,
renew your loans, place a hold or request intercampus photocopies.
Library fines remaining unpaid become a student encumbrance. Until
the debt is paid you will not be able to use your IT accounts (Authcate,
Novell etc), re-enrol, get your results or graduate.
