If item is returned after a bill is sent to the Business Office, but within one semester of the billing, a credit for the replacement cost and processing fee will be issued, but you are responsible for the billing fee and fines.

An overdue letter will be sent after material is late. A total of three (3) such letters will be sent. If you still have not returned materials, they will be considered lost and you will be BILLED for the items.

After the last day of each semester, all outstanding fines and book charges will be sent to the Business Office. All items not returned or renewed by the end of the spring semester will be treated as lost and your account will be billed.
