OVERDUE FINES

Overdue items are assumed lost. Fines are assessed as follows:
Books & CDs:	28 days past due, the borrower will be fined the cost of the item.
Non-Book Items (DVDs, etc.):	14 days past due, the borrower will be fined the cost of the item.
Borrowers have 90 days from the assumed lost date to return overdue items and have the fine reversed.   After 90 days, no fines will be reversed. This includes previous payments for overdue items that are subsequently returned.
Reserve Items:	Reserves removed from the library are overdue/assumed lost. Borrowers will be charged a replacement cost fine and a non-refundable $10.00 a day fee (to a maximum of $70.00) per item.  If the item is returned, the replacement cost fine may be waived. The $10.00 a day fee will not be waived.
Fines and fees may be paid at the college's Cashier's Office or in your Student Center. Unpaid fines and fees will prohibit students from checking out library materials, registering for classes or ordering transcripts, and may be sent to collections.

 

Effective July 1, 2021 assumed lost items will no longer be charged a $10 processing fee. Fines and fees incurred prior to July 1, 2021 will not be reversed.
