LibGuides: The Library: Overdue and Lost Items

Overdue Library Items

Wintec Library does not charge standard overdue fines. However, items will be considered 'lost' once they are more than 28 days overdue for standard loans, or a shorter period for shorter loans.

To avoid recovery action, renew or return your library material on time.

If you have any overdue items, you cannot borrow material from the Library until you have renewed or returned the items.

Fine to pay?

Fine for late course reserves: if you do not return a course reserve by the time it is due, the fine is $1 per hour, which will continue to accumulate until you return the item.

Library fines can be paid by:

If you have fines of $10 or more you cannot borrow material from the Library until you have paid the fine in full.
