You may pay online for all overdue book and equipment fines, as well as fees for 3D, poster, and other special printing. We are unable to accept payments in person at the library.
Replacement books and other non-technology items – Library items that are 60 days overdue are considered lost (14 days for Reserves items). Users will be billed a $75 flat fee ($50 replacement + $25 processing) for each lost item. These fees will be transferred to the Bursar’s Office and reflected on students’ accounts. Students’ fees for replacement books must be paid through the Bursar’s office.
Once fees have been transferred to the Bursar's Office, they can no longer be refunded by the Library, even if the books are returned to the Library.

Possibly. Depending on the item, you may be able to provide a replacement copy in lieu of the replacement fee (Note: You will still need to pay the $25 processing fee, even if you provide a replacement). All replacement requests must be reviewed by the Library’s Collection Development & Management Department before you purchase a replacement item.
