The Library is invoicing borrowing fees in early April
We invoice unpaid borrowing service fees in early April. By paying all the unpaid fees before Easter, you can avoid the invoicing. Web payment is a quick and easy way to pay the overdue and reservation fees online.
Log in to UEF Primo. From your account, select Fines. You can make an online payment if the amount of fees is at least three euro.
After payment, return to your own records in the library system, the paid fees will be deleted from your records immediately. Online payment is not possible during UEF Primo’s short service breaks.
You can also pay the fees at the campus libraries’ customer service in cash or with a debit/credit card. Card payment is not possible in the KUH Medical Library.
