Renewals

You may renew reserve material at the Course Reserves Desk.

If material is in demand the Course Reserves and Copyright Services staff has the right not to renew.

Overdues

If you keep an item past its date due time, overdue charges will result. Overdue notifications will be emailed to your cmich account only. If you do not have a cmich account they will be sent by regular mail. Overdue notifications are sent by the library as a courtesy; failure to receive or read the messages does not excuse the overdue fines.

• 2 Hour Reserve:
  $1.00 for the first hour
  $0.25 for each additional hour
• 1 Day, 3 Days, and 1 Week Reserves:
  $1.00 for the first day
  $0.50 for each additional day

Lost Material

Material not returned within 7 days of the overdue notification will be assumed lost. The borrower will be invoiced the actual library purchase price and a $15.00 non-refundable processing fee per item. If the purchase price cannot be determined a $60.00 replacement charge per item will be assessed plus the $15.00 non-refundable processing fee. If an item which was assumed lost is returned within one year, the replacement charge (but not the $15.00 processing fee) will be credited to the borrower’s account.

Overdue and lost material charges may be paid at the Student Account Services and University Billing office located in the lower level of the Bovee University Center.
