  • A non-refundable processing fee of $10.00
  • The actual replacement cost of the item is always the full price of the materials

Appeals

Access Services will research library charges at a patron's request. The form is available at the Access Services Desk. The library will investigate and provide follow-up information.

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

• Change of Address. University policy requires that community members notify the university ASAP when addresses, phone numbers, etc., are changed.
• Not knowing 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
