Fine Procedures
Students who generate a fine in excess of $1.00 will have a hold placed on their student account. The Library accepts cash or credit card payments, which can be made at the circulation desk. Students will pay any fines due, as well as the replacement cost of the item before the hold will be released.
** Fines and/or fees may be waived under certain circumstances. Such waivers are granted at the discretion of the Library Director.
