Overdue Fines
Library fines and fees are paid at the Library Services Desk using your FIT ID.
Any late items from the general collection will not have fines upon return. However, when an item is very late you may receive a "Lost Summary Bill" email. If the items are returned all holds and fees will be removed from your account. For items truly lost, please contact Access Services to determine the actual replacement fees.
A patron’s Library account with item(s) overdue past 30 days will be placed on Library Hold in addition to a Registrar Hold. Student accounts will be blocked from checking out library material, class registration, receiving transcripts, and refund checks until the account is paid in full. If the items are returned all holds and fees will be removed from your account.
Please email any questions and concerns regarding fines and fees to the Access Services Managers. Please include your full name, @ number, and any pertinent information regarding your account or overdue/lost items. We are unable to refund any unused money on your ID card used for library fines.
Faculty, staff, and administrators are not charged overdue fines, but ARE responsible for the cost of lost book replacements.

NOTE: Transcript orders are impacted by library holds. You may have to restart the process using your order number and the transcript company contact information after you clear your library hold. If the hold/fine is not resolved within 30 days, the order is canceled and you will be notified and not charged for the transcript order.
