Replacement charges are nonrefundable after the charge has been forwarded to the business office for collection. Lost or damaged ILL materials are billed according to the rate set by the owning library. Patrons with unpaid replacement charges may be subject to suspension of borrowing privileges and/or registration/transcript holds.
