Fines and Fees

Fines will be charged for items that are not returned when needed by another borrower, i.e., items that have been recalled or any item(s) on Course Reserve, or materials that are not renewed and long overdue (varies due to loan periods). Long overdue items are considered lost and will be billed at replacement fees. Most Reserve items, media and equipment will go lost and billed after much shorter periods depending on the loan period.

To avoid fines, please return or renew materials on time. Items cannot be renewed if they have been recalled, are non-renewable, or if you have received a bill for them. Materials that are not renewed and long overdue (varies due to loan periods) are considered Lost and will be billed at replacement fees.  You may request a receipt for every item you return.
