Alumni Loans

General Information

• Must have a current Alumni card available at no charge and a photo ID (driver’s license or passport).
• Library materials checked out vary depending on the patron's classification with the university.
• Materials may be renewed by phone or in person at the Access Services Desk. Materials that have been requested by other patrons will not be renewed. Overdue materials will need to be renewed in person.
• Borrowing privileges are suspended until outstanding fines are paid.
• Laptops, hotspots, DVDs, CDs, bound periodicals, archives, and special collections do not circulate.
• The library sends two (2) overdue notices. The third overdue notice is a bill for the replacement costs of the item. All library communication will be via email. Keep it up to date, or have a phone number on file if no email.
• When an item is 14 days overdue, the library will charge the patron for the replacement of the item.

Appeals

Access Services will research library charges at a patron's request. Patrons may fill out the form available at the Access Services Desk, and the library will investigate the matter and provide follow-up information.

Examples of reasons that do not constitute a valid basis for changing fines or fees include:

• Change of address. University policy requires that alumni notify the university as soon as possible when their addresses and phone numbers change.
• Not knowing the circulation policies
• Not agreeing with library policies
• Forgetting the due date
• Loaning the material to a third party
• Allowing another person to use your ID card
