Fines

Why we charge fines

It is important to all our members that they can access material as quickly as possible. Our loan periods and holds systems are designed to circulate a finite number of items as fairly and quickly as possible between around 25,000 users. We charge fines on some overdue loans to deter anyone from keeping materials longer than allowed and enable others to use them.

Any income from fines is reinvested in the Library.

Current fines

The following fines are charged on Library items returned late.

Item type

Standard (6-week loan)

Library accounts will be blocked if fines are not paid within 7 days of being incurred.

You will be charged for replacement of any lost items. For more information see Charges for lost items.

Be fair and avoid fines!

  • Check due dates and renew loans online 24/7 via the link on the Library homepage or the Enterprise catalogue
  • Check your University email account regularly for Library messages - you may be asked to return an item before its original due date if someone else wants it
  • Keep a reminder of when the book is due back
  • Do not lend your card to anybody else - you are liable for all items on your account returned late
  • Return Library materials via the Book Drop to the right of the main entrance
  • Return Library materials by post (see contact us below for address details) - please pack them well and use a registered or tracked postal service

If you have enquiries about your loans please contact us as soon as you can.

Extenuating circumstances

We aim to charge fines for overdue items in a fair and consistent manner. Fines may be waived or reduced only where extenuating circumstances apply, for example:

  • Illness
  • Medical emergency
  • Family problems
  • Bereavement

Written verification, such as a doctor鈥檚 note or an email from your tutor / manager, will be required to support a request to waive a fine.

Please contact us or talk to a member of staff at the Welcome Desk if you wish to discuss a fine.
