Late returns and fines:
All loans and returns are processed on the library management system which periodically
generates alerts for overdue loans. In that case, a fine of up to R10 per day will be charged for late
returns (capped at a maximum of R100). After not returning a book for 10 working days, you will be
charged the full replacement cost of the book.

Learning barriers are not always physical or visible. For this reason, you may be experiencing a
learning barrier without even realising it. Common barriers to learning include the following:
Learning disability: e.g. dyslexia presents difficulties with accurate and/or poor spelling and
decoding abilities .
Physical impairment: any physical disability that impacts on your ability to meet the set
academic requirements, e.g. hearing loss or any abnormality that hinders the ability to
write or type.
Mental illness: e.g. anxiety disorder that makes it difficult for you to complete an assessment
within the set time.

• Do I feel overwhelmingly anxious about my life and studies?
• Do I find it difficult, for no apparent reason, to concentrate during lectures and assessments?
•
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it is advisable that you make use of the public
services available (e.g. hospitals and clinics) or consult a specialist such as an Educational
Psychologist or Psychiatrist. It is important that you do not self diagnose.
