Standard Borrowing information for all University Library System (ULS) libraries
Overdue notices sent by the University Libraries are courtesy reminder notices only. The University Libraries are not responsible for delayed delivery of notices due to inaccurate addresses or other delivery problems. The first overdue notice is sent the day after items are due. When an item is 28 days overdue, a final notice is sent and the user's borrowing privileges may be suspended until the situation is resolved. Once overdue material is returned, a bill that includes the total amount of the fine is generated and sent within one business day.
The libraries charge a $100.00 replacement fee for books that are 28 days overdue and are considered "Lost", plus a non-refundable $25.00 processing fee for each book. "Lost" books cannot be renewed and must be returned to the library for your account to be credited. If the book is returned after billing and before the library has begun the reorder process to replace it, your account will be adjusted and the replacement and processing fees will be removed. If the library has "withdrawn" the item, some portion of the replacement fee plus the $25.00 processing fee will be retained. Library users who wish to provide a replacement copy for lost or damaged library materials may do so, however, the replacement copy is subject to approval. In addition, the $25.00 lost item process fee will be assessed. Students with outstanding unpaid charges of $25.00 or higher will have a hold placed on their university accounts.
