Fines & Fees
Outstanding Fines
Users with outstanding fines amounting to or exceeding $10 cannot borrow or renew library materials, including course reserves, or place Interlibrary Loan requests until fines are paid. Students with outstanding fines of any amount at the end of their final semester cannot graduate until fines are paid.
Lost or Damaged Items
- Items that are four or more weeks overdue will be presumed lost and a replacement fee will be applied to the borrower's account. If the item is returned in good condition, the replacement fee will be waived.
- Users are required to pay a replacement fee for lost or damaged items on their Library record.
- The standard replacement fee for books is $90, which covers the cost of the replacement as well as processing costs. We do not accept books purchased by the user in lieu payment.
- Replacement fees for non-print material will be assessed based on the price of the item.
- If a library item is stolen, please report the crime to Public Safety or the NYPD and provide the Libraries with the report.
