Fines and Fees
Circulation: Books are checked out for a 2 week period.
Renewal: Books can be renewed one time provided (1) you do not owe us money (2) the books are not overdue; (3) a hold is not placed on the book while you have it.
Fines: $.10 a day is accrued. After six weeks, a replacement charge of $55 is added to the fine and the account is sent to the Business Office to collect the money due. Your ability to enroll, drop, or request a transcript is in jeopardy if it is not paid. If you return the book, you are only charged the fine amount, not the cost of replacement.
