Renewing Material

Most items may be renewed online through your account. You are responsible for renewing items you have checked out, on or before the due date to avoid overdue fines and replacement fees.

Renewal Policies

  • Reserve books and equipment such as chargers, iPads, laptops, and DVD players cannot be renewed online.
  • Recalled books may not be renewed.
  • Your renewal will not be processed if your fines reach or exceed $20, or if you have an overdue recalled item.
  • Borrow Direct and Interlibrary Loan material may not be renewed. 
  • Long overdue material which has gone to “lost” status is no longer eligible for renewal and must be returned. Replacement fees will then be removed, however a fee of $10 will remain for the late return of equipment and reserve items.
