Fees and fines

Fees and charges

In principle, use of the library, the library card and borrowing are free of charge.

Costs are incurred:

Fees incurred for interlibrary loans and exceeding the locker usage times can be paid at the Central Library circulation desk using an EC card.

Overdue fines

  • Watch out for notifications from the library to your (university) e-mail address.
  • You can view the loan periods at any time via your library account.
  • Borrowed media can also be returned to the library by post.
  • Please also be aware of the possibility of cancellation a renewal - the library will request the return of a book before the end of the extended loan period if another user has reserved it.

If you exceed the loan period, the University Library will ask you to return the item and charge a fine. The reminder with the fee notice will be sent to the address given in the Campus Portal as the contact address.
