Overdue Notices and Late Fees

IUPUI Faculty Borrowers will receive overdue notices by e-mail twice before the item is declared lost. Daily late fees have been replaced by a flat rate of $10 for items more than two weeks late.

Lost Materials

Once library materials are declared lost a bill will be e-mailed to the student and to Student Accounts. Students will have to pay the replacement cost (ranging from $25 - $100 or more), plus a $10.00 late fee per item. If the bill is greater than $195.00 a department requested hold will be placed on the student's account and will not be lifted until the bill is settled.

After having been billed, if the library materials are returned undamaged by the end of the semester during which the bill was sent, then the student's account will be credited the replacement costs and the student will only be required to pay the late fees.

Renewals, Holds and Recalls

Renewals, holds, and recalls may be made at the Circulation Desks, by telephone or e-mail:

You can also place a renewal or hold via My Library Card.

Holds

A hold means that you will notified as soon as your requested item is returned. If your need is immediate please ask that your item be recalled.

Recall Policy

When other patrons place a recall request on items that are checked out, the requested materials will be recalled by the Libraries within 3 to 7 days, depending on the circulation status of the materials.

Returns

After-hour book drops are available at both libraries by the main entrances.  Also, materials can be dropped off at the IUPUI University Library.
