Fines for Overdue Materials

(Fines may vary in some branch libraries)

We ask you to please inform us of any address changes.

Note: Fines will not be forgiven if you do not receive your email.

Fines Policy for Books

Beginning July 1, 2007, daily fines for overdue books will not be assessed.

Books and any items with accompanying media that have not been returned or renewed by 30 days past their due dates will be treated as “Lost” and bills including the replacement cost + a non-refundable $10 processing fee will be issued for them. Overdue notices are sent by email.
Replacement costs will be determined by the specific book.
Once the bill is paid, the library user has six months to return the item and receive a credit for the replacement charge, less the $10.00 non-refundable fee.
The following items are not covered by this policy: music CDs, children’s books, periodicals, media items, laptops, reserve items, recalled books, ILL and E-ZBorrow loans.
In the general libraries, faculty and graduate students have a semester loan for books; undergraduates have a 28-day loan period.

Overdue Charges: At $5.00, your borrowing privileges are blocked & fines may be referred to the Office of Student Accounts (requires payment there). Recall fines change to $3.00 per day.
