Fines are accumulated at the rate of $0.25 per book per day for circulating items. For videos, DVDs, software, and any material borrowed on Interlibrary Loan, the fines are increased to $1.00 per item per day.
At the end of each semester (fall and spring) all unpaid fines will be turned over to the business office. Additionally, a $50 lost item charge for each unreturned item will be placed on your account. Such charges can be removed by paying the amount due, or by returning the items within the year following the administration of the charge(s). Any lost interlibrary loan item will result in a $25 dollar fee plus whatever the lending library invoices for a replacement cost.
