Paying Library Fines
You may continue borrow from the Library and renew loans online , in person or by phone with a small fine outstanding on your Library account. However you are encouraged to pay the fines as soon as possible as this will enable you to use the online reservation service.
If there are any extenuating circumstances that lead to your incurring fines, please ask to speak to one of the senior members of staff at the Issue Desk in confidence.
How to Pay Your Fine
Pay in Person
You can pay in person by cash, credit/debit card or cheque accompanied by a cheque card at the Library Issue Desk
Pay by Post
You can post a cheque, made payable to "University of Portsmouth Library" to
University Library
Cambridge Road
PORTSMOUTH
PO1 2ST
Please include a return address, so we can forward your receipt to you.
Pay Online
You can pay by credit/debit card via the University's Online Store.
You will need to set up an account for the Online Store the first time you use it. Payments made before 12 pm will be credited to your Library account by 5pm the same working day. Payments made after 12 pm will be credited by 10 am the following working day.
| Pay outstanding fines or item replacement charges (for current members) |
students | staff members & external users |
| Pay invoices sent by the University Finance Office for library items (for both current and former members) |
students | staff members & external users |
Please use the Online Store (webpay) only if:
- You have renewed your loans and you are paying an outstanding charge. If you haven't renewed your loans , the fines will continue to go up.
- You are not coming into the Library yourself in the very near future. Don't forget that the payment to the Library is not immediate - there is a small delay.
