Are you a University of Pécs student and did you not pay attention to your library debts? The Neptun may restrict you from October!

Are you a University of Pécs student and did you not pay attention to your library debts?

The Neptun may restrict you from October!

If you have book or money debts in the Library, it sets a blocking on the student’s Neptun platform from 1 October 2019, which restricts the applying for exams and other operations. A pop-up window informs the students about this. 

The blocking remains valid until the student settles the library debts.

You can settle the debt personally in the library (in the library where the debt was incurred) or by online payment in case of a money debt.

What are the limits, what should I pay attention for?

Similarly to other university debt management practices (e.g. dormitory fee, unpaid tuition fee), from 1 October, the Library sets a blocking in the Neptun system for a student with library debt. This blocking restricts certain operations of the student (enrolment, registration at the beginning of the year, applying for an exam).

In case of money debt:

• if the debt is more than 2000 HUF
• 
  
• if the debt is not more than 2000 HUF but 60 days passed since the debt incurred.

 In case of book debt:

• 20 days after the end of the loan period (after two reminder emails)

Does the Library inform me if I have debt?

 The loaned documents have to be returned before the end of the loan period. Neglecting the due date implies charging fine. The amount of fine is 20 HUF by documents and by days.

Order of reminders/overdue notices:

1. 2 days before the end of the loan period automatic reminder email is sent
2. The 1st overdue notice is sent 1 week after the end of the loan period (via email, or postal mail if the email address is missing)
3. The 2nd overdue notice is sent on the 7th day after the 1st overdue notice (via email, or postal mail if the email address is missing)

4. The 3rd overdue notice with acknowledgement of receipt is sent after the 14th day following the 2nd overdue notice.
5. If the Library user does not settle the debt in 15 days following the 3rd overdue notice, the Library will take legal proceedings to recover its debts.

Returning the book by the end of the loan period is the reader’s duty.

Does the regulation affect only on the debts in the libraries in the Centre for Learning?

No, this regulation effects in every unit of the Network of the University Library of Pécs and Centre for Learning  (2/a Universitas street Pécs) from 1 October 2019.

What should I do if I notice late in the evening, during applying for an exam that I have library debts?

The Neptun blocking exists until you settle your debt. The update between the library system and the Neptun is done every day at 10.30 pm. If the library debt prevents the applying for an exam, you need to pay the debt online, and then you can update the system on the following website:

Is there an option of payment in instalment? What kind of other or personal discount can I use? If yes, who will evaluate it?

Opportunity for personal evaluation or payment in instalment is available only in justified cases. Essentially, according to fiscal rules, the Library does not have the opportunity to waive its debts.

For equity, you can submit a request to the service coordinator on the following email address: panasz@lib.pte.hu or phone number: 72 / 501 600 / 28089.
