Overdue & lost materials
Did you receive a charge for an overdue or lost library item? Don't panic! We can work with you to resolve most billing or fee issues at any Ask Us desk or call us at (520) 621-6442.
You can't borrow items if your late fees reach $5 or if you have items that are overdue. Once you pay your balance or return the items, you can check things out again.
Pay your fees
Online
To pay your fees online, sign in to your library account and select "Pay Fees."
Bursar's account
We transfer library charges to your Bursar's account each month, so they will no longer show on your library account. Once this happens, you can pay through UAccess Student or call the Bursar's office at (520) 621-3232.
Late, lost, or damaged items
We charge fees for late items to ensure continued access to library materials. You can usually eliminate or reduce late fees by returning the item. We may not be able to eliminate fees on technology items since they are in such high demand.
While we auto-renew most items (see renewals), we charge the total replacement cost if items are past due beyond the grace period.
If you lost or damaged something, contact us as soon possible and we can explain your options.
| Type of material | Billed when past due | Total replacement cost |
|---|---|---|
| Books, journals, maps, government documents | 22 days | $140 |
| Laptops and other equipment | 24 hours | Up to $2610 |
| Equipment accessories | 24 hours | $165 |
| Interlibrary loan items | 10 days | $140 |
| Videos, DVDs, CDs, music phonodiscs, music collected works | 6 days | $140 |
