Delay

For everyone who loaned a book, the library sends an email.

• As a warning, four days after the loan period ends.

For those users who don't settle their debt after the loan period ends, we send a letter of formal notice by post.

• The late fee can be paid with cash or by online payment via WebApp.
• If the student of the Faculty of Social Sciences has a late fee that is higher than 10,000 HUF, then the amount of debit will appear in the NEPTUN.
• That user who has a debt – book or money – will be excluded from borrowing temporarily.
• Students who are temporarily or permanently dismissed from the faculty are required to report to the library until the day prior to leaving the institution.
• Students who are temporarily or permanently dismissed from the Faculty are required to account with the library until the day before leaving.

Damaged or lost books

The damaged or lost books must be replaced with the same or newer editions. If the documents are no longer available, the antique traffic value of them must be paid, plus 2000 HUF as an administration fee.
