• Two week general circulating collection item overdue fines are 25 cents per day w/maximum fee of $10.

• Reserves: Two hour reserve overdue fines are $1.00 an hour. Overnight reserves are $2 per day. Students can be charged the full price of the reserve item as an overdue fine.  Students who do not return Reserve material will incur late fines up to the cost of replacing the item with a new copy plus processing fees and overdue fines.

• Two day general circulating collection items are $2.00 per day.

• Students with fines of $5 or more may not check out any materials until the balance is paid for in full or brought under the $5 threshold. Also, a block will be placed on a student's record until the balance is under $5.00 preventing the student from conducting transactions such as registering for classes or obtaining transcripts. From one week before the last class drop date until the end of the semester, students must pay off the entire fee.

• Refunds: Please note, fines and processing fees are non-refundable even if a book/item is found and returned in good condition. A refund will be issued for the replacement price of the book/item. Both the carbon copy library receipt and the cash register receipt are required to qualify for a refund. Refunds will not be issued for items returned after six (6) months from payment date.

• Lost books: Current replacement price + $10.00 non-refundable processing fee + any outstanding fine.
