Using the Library: Overdue Materials

Overdue Materials

 

Overdue Notifications: The library notifies patrons via email regarding overdue items and account holds. After two overdue notices, the library considers the item lost and will charge a replacement cost of $50 per lost item. 

Billed Fines: Students billed for overdue fines may not borrow more items until the overdue items are returned or renewed.

Payments: Made through the Bursar's Office. No money will be accepted in the library.

Claims Returned

If the library system shows an item as checked-out or overdue that a borrower believes they returned, the borrower should notify the library immediately.

The borrower is expected to search their possessions for the item, while the library conducts an internal search for the item. The library searches each month for a six month period or until an applicable graduation date.

If the item isn't found by the end of the search period, the library will bill the borrower the Lost/Damaged Item Charge.
