When a book is reported lost or long overdue the user is charged for the replacement cost and assessed a $13 processing fee. Overdue notices are sent through E-mail. A “flag” or hold, is placed on a Student record when fines are owed. Students may not register for classes or receive transcripts until their accounts are settled.
