Overdue Fine and Replacement Charge Policy

Borrower Responsibilities

Borrowers are responsible for returning all borrowed library materials, equipment, and software on, or before, each item’s due date.

Note: Hazy Library attempts to routinely notify borrowers of near-due and overdue status of borrowed items. This is a courtesy and not a requirement of the Hazy Library.
ERAU students, faculty, staff, and community borrowers are responsible for payment of fines and replacement charges, as applicable.

When an item is not returned on time, the borrower will be charged an overdue fine.
When the item reaches the maximum fine because it is not returned, the borrower will be charged a $5 processing fee, the overdue fine and the cost of replacing the item. The replacement charges are calculated per current market price and value, if available.
Suspended borrowing privileges: Borrowing privileges are suspended when a borrower has 5 overdue items or owes $10.00 in fines. For more information, please see our Borrowing and Loan Policy.
