Q. When will I be billed for a book?

The billing process is in stages:

• At 30 days late - the book will be declared lost, $2 lost processing fee will be added to your account and your account will be blocked.  If item is returned, the processing fee is removed
• At 45 days late - the replacement cost of the book is added to your account.  If item is returned, price of item and the processing fee is removed.
• At 60 days late - the charges will be billed to your University account.  If the item is returned within one year, the price of the item is removed, but the processing fee remains. Since the item is state property, the patron must return the item, even if they have bought a replacement copy already. The best solution for the patron is always to start by returning the item. 

If you return the item you before you have been billed (before 60 days) the price of the item and the $2 processing fee will be removed from your account.  

If the item is returned after your account has been billed, the price of the item will be removed but the $2 lost item processing fee will have to be paid.
