An item that has incurred $10.00 in overdue fines is considered lost. A lost item incurs the following charges:
Both the $10 overdue fine and $10 processing fee must be paid even after the item is returned. If an item is returned in damaged condition, the same replacement charges will apply. Failure to pay financial obligations may result in one or all of the following: library borrowing privileges withheld, submission to collection agency, the right to register for classes withheld, non-issuance of diplomas and transcripts, or other appropriate sanctions.
