In this, every campus student gets a text-book for each course for the whole semester. Text-books should be obtained from the library following the rules to be explained by the library.
b. The students must return their books within tree days after the semester final examinations. Otherwise, they will have to pay a fine of Taka 20/-(twenty) only for each book for every day. They will not be allowed to get the text-books for the following semester until the books issued earlier are returned with fines, if any.
c. If any book is lost, two copies of the same book will have to be replaced. The text-book loan system is a great venture in the field of education which is unique in AUB. The cooperation from all students is needed for the successful continuation of this policy for the greater benefit of the students.
