Overdue Notices

Overdue notices are sent via email as a courtesy.

Failure to receive an overdue notice does not exempt you from any charges that result from keeping items past their due date.

If an email address is not available, the notice is sent to the local/campus address on file with the Xavier University Library.

Overdue Fines & Replacement Fees

Fines are accrued when items are overdue. Items more than 30 days overdue are deemed lost and replacement fees are charged. Unpaid charges will result in suspension or cancellation of Digital Media Lab privileges and/or blocks on registration, transcripts, and diplomas.

Direct questions about overdue fines and replacement fees to the Digital Media Lab Manager. Make sure to include details about the item(s) you have fines on.

Students:

Fines and replacement fees are removed from student library accounts and charged directly to student bursar accounts at the end of each month.

If you wish to dispute a fine or replacement charge you must do so within two weeks of the charge being applied to your account. After this period all charges are final.

Faculty/Staff:

Faculty and staff are not responsible for fines for Digital Media Lab equipment. They are however responsible for replacement fees or replacement copies for Digital Media Lab equipment.

Fine and Replacement Amounts

Items checked out from the Digital Media Lab fall into one of four tiers that determine the daily fine amount as well as the approximate replacement cost. Fine amounts are generally not adjusted but replacement costs can fluctuate depending on the current cost to replace the item, any parts returned in working order, or our ability to repair instead of replace the item.

Red tagged items are $25/day or $1200 replacement

Orange tagged items are $15/day or $300 replacement

Green tagged items are $10/day or $100 replacement

Blue tagged items are $5/day or $50 replacement

Payment

Fines and replacement fees may be paid at the Connection Center to the library. Please refer to the library website for acceptable payment types, and details on how you can pay a fine.
