The Librarian is empowered to levy a fine upon all users who fail to return library material within the prescribed period. The fine for late return of books in the General Collection is one dollar ($1.00) for each day the loan is overdue, including Sundays and public holidays.
The fine for late return of books in the Course Reserves Collection is one dollar ($1.00) per hour or part thereof. Particular attention should be paid to the library’s closing hours. Items due on a particular day and returned via the book chute after closing hours, are considered overdue, since they can only be checked in on the next opening day.
The maximum for each overdue item in all categories is five hundred dollars ($500.00), after which further disciplinary action may be taken. Users are blocked from borrowing once items on loan become overdue and/or they have fines outstanding.
For our electronic devices, the fine for late returns are $20.00 per day.
Notices will be e-mailed to students’ MyeLearning accounts, notifying them of their outstanding items and/or fines. Items which are not returned after due notice will be presumed lost and treated accordingly. Fines ONLY cease to accrue when the item is reported lost by student.
In response to the COVID_19 pandemic, The Department of the Deputy Principal's Office procured various electronic devices (Laptops, MiFi Devices and Tablets) to aid students that were affected by the lack of access to campus resources.
As such the library and by extension the CAS Division facilitates the loan of these items. For more information on accessing these devices, click HERE
