Fine Policies
|
|
$0.20/day for overdue books and audiotapes
|
|
$1.00/day for overdue videos and DVDs
|
|
When a fine reaches $12, the item is declared "lost" and an average replacement cost of $55.00 is billed to your account; but if the item is significantly more expensive to replace, the cost may be higher. When an overdue item is returned within a reasonable period of time, a credit for the replacement cost will be posted, but the fine will remain and must be paid.
|
|
$0.50/hour for overdue reserve items
|
|
$3.00/day for overdue recalls
|
|
Reserve fines are $0.50 per hour ($12/day) and fines for recalled books are $3 per day. There is no fine cap and library privileges may be suspended until the item is returned. Failure to return overdue reserves or recalls is a serious offense and a violation of the College's Policy in Academic Integrity; as such, it may be reported to teh Dean of Studies Office.
NOTIFICATION ABOUT OVERDUES, RECALLS, AND ITEMS FOR PICKUP WILL BE BY SLC EMAIL ONLY.
