Fines

Student keep books for a very long time without returning and don't really care about the fee because it is small. Maybe the University should consider increasing the fee

Thank you for your comment. I sympathise with your concerns but may I reassure you? University of Bedfordshire's fine regime is deliberately low cost so as not to put students into financial distress.

If a student keeps an item overdue for more than 5 weeks however the fine is raised from 50p to the cost of replacing the book (£20 - £200!!) as well as this their library account is blocked so that no further loans are possible and there is no access to the digital library

I hope this helps
