All students or listeners who finish their studies at university (before presenting diplomas or terminating their studies) have to settle accounts with the library (return all the items they borrowed and pay for those they have not returned on time or lost).

The students who are about to graduate have to upload their final project to the Lithuanian Academic Electronic Library. Further information. Employees settle their accounts based on the order established at the university.
