Kia ora koutou

Today 22 students have had a sanction placed on their student record for unpaid Library invoices over $100 in value.  They will also receive an email informing them of the sanction and have a sanction block in Horizon record.  Most of these invoices are for Lost books (books not returned).

A sanction results in UC withholding academic transcripts, results, enrolment and graduation.  Results of the recent exams are due out this Friday.  Therefore we may have some very upset students contacting us.

The sanction will be lifted once the debt has been paid and/or the items returned to the Library. Please let us know if you have contact from any of these students and refer any queries onto Jenny, Rā or Te Paea. We need to contact financial services to remove the sanction. We will certainly take personal circumstances into account and waive the debt if this will cause undue hardship.
