Overdue and replacement charges:

Fines will not accrue during periods when the library is closed.
Items that go to a “billed” status will incur a $20 processing fee + a non-refundable fee (amount listed under “fees assessed at billing”).
All items will be sent to the Bursar for payment 5 days past the day they were billed. At that time, payment is only available at the Bursar and no replacement options are allowed.
