Library Charges

For items from the library’s main circulating collections, charges are 50 cents per day per item, and recalled item fines are $2 per day. If an item is lost or mutilated, the borrower is charged the estimated cost of the item plus a processing fee to cover acquisition and cataloging costs. Different fine rates may apply to other library collections, such as reserve collections.

Motor Vehicle Penalties

These are described in Traffic Rules and Regulations and Parking Guide given to students when a parking permit is purchased.

Property Damage Charges

Students will be charged for damage to property or equipment. Where responsibility for the damage can be fixed, the individual student will be billed for it; where responsibility cannot be fixed, the cost of repairing the damage will be pro-rated among the individuals involved.

Late Payment Fee
