Fines and fees
If items are not returned by their due date or if an item is damaged or lost, you may be subject to a fine or fee.
Fines by loan type:
- 7 day loans: $1/day, $7 max
- 30 day, 120 day or 6 month loans: no fines unless lost
- Interlibrary loans: no fines unless lost
- Recalled items: $10/day, $140 max
Course Reserves items have special borrowing policies.
Lost item fees
Items are considered lost when they are more than 14 days overdue. Once an item has been declared lost, you will be charged the replacement cost of the item plus a $20 processing fee.
We can only refund lost-book fees within 6 months of the date the fee was paid.
