Borrow, Renew, Return

Fines & Replacement Charges

Overdue notices are sent to borrowers who have not returned their materials by the due date. A borrower is not exempt from any overdue or replacement charge because of failure to receive a notice from the library.

Charges for lost or damaged materials are based on the current average cost to the Library, plus a processing fee and all overdue fines which have accrued. Processing fees and overdue fines are non-refundable. Material cost fees are non-refundable once the order / replacement process has begun. Gleeson Library does not accept replacement copies for lost or damaged items.

If a borrower states that a recalled or overdue item has been returned, but library records indicate that it has not been returned, a search will be instituted by the Circulation Department. If this process, which entails an extensive search of the stacks and sorting areas over a period of two weeks, does not produce the book, it is considered to have been lost by the borrower.

Patrons who have unpaid bills for damaged or lost items will have their University records placed on hold, and will not receive any Student Enrollment Services or Registrar services until their library account is cleared. Patrons whose charges exceed $99 will also have their library borrowing privileges suspended. All charges on a patron's account must be paid before the University Hold will be lifted. University Holds will be lifted by the next business day after receipt of the payment.
