On March 9th, QCARD is being replaced by the SOLUS Student Centre, and this will bring about changes to how student library fees can be paid.  After March 9th, any library fees or fines owed by students will automatically be transferred to student SOLUS accounts, and counted alongside tuition and other university fees.

As of March 9th, Students will need to start paying their library fines directly through the University Registrar (using the same methods used to pay tuition).

• Payment Methods for Tuition & Fees – students: pay your library fines using one of these methods

Library circulation desks can no longer accept payments.  Login to My Library Account to view any fines you may owe.

Non-student borrowers (faculty, staff, community borrowers, etc.) can still pay library fines via the circulation desk.  More information about paying library fines and fees.

If you have any questions about your fines, please contact the circulation desk at the appropriate library.
