Fines and Payments

Making Payments

Fine payments are made by a deduction made from money in your Canterbury card account. This is a 2 step process as outlined below. Adding money to your card does not automatically pay the fine.

Note: Distance students may also pay by cheque, payable to the University of Canterbury. Please include your name and address and send the cheque to the Education Library.

Make a payment from your Canterbury Card Account

  1. Ensure that you have enough money loaded onto your Canterbury Card account, either by using a reload station on campus, or students may use a credit card to add funds.
  2. Request that the fine is paid from this money, either in person at any branch library, or pay online.

How to pay online

  • Log into Pay Online
  • You will need to use your UC user name and password as personal authentication to access the Web form
  • Indicate which charges are to be paid, choosing one of:
    • Individual fines
    • Total fines owing
    • Partial amount of fines e.g. to bring total to below the $10 maximum
  • Complete your payment choices and submit the form

Please note

  • You will be emailed a confirmation that the payment has been made.
  • If you want to check recent payments taken from your card you can do so from your IT Account. Please note that your balance may take several minutes to update following a payment.
  • Students and staff will only be able to pay for their own personal charges from their own Canterbury Card account. If you want to make payments to another person's account you can do this in person at any Library Service Desk.
  • If you have lost book charges that you want to pay, please ask in person at a Library Service Desk.
