Check It Out: Information on Borrowing

Whether you've just arrived at UHSP or are new to using the Library, this guide covers all the basics. Learn about your library account, borrowing information, fines & fees, the UHSP collection, and how you can suggest items for purchase.

Fines & Fees

Late Fees:

  • Reserve items (ie: textbooks, calculators, chargers...) : 50¢ per hour     
  • DVDs: 50¢ per day

Damage & Replacement Costs

If an item is lost or damaged beyond repair, the UHSP Library will charge your student account for our replacement cost of that item plus late fees. 

Policies

Bring it back on time or pay the fine

Fines are assessed to encourage prompt renewal and the return of materials. Fines apply every day the Library Service Desk is open and are assessed after an item is overdue.

Overdue Notices

All items checked out from the Library receive either a stamped/handwritten due date OR a verbal notification of the due date. Overdue notices are sent to your UHSP email address the day after materials are due back at the Library. 

Bills for replacement of materials are also sent to your UHSP email address.

Charges to Student Account

The library does not accept cash payments for fines and fees. Library fines are billed to student accounts once a month. 

If you have a question about a charge from the library, email Library@uhsp.edu.

Blocked Library Account

Users are blocked from borrowing additional Library materials if they have lost or damaged a MOBIUS item. The library block will remain until the material is returned or the replacement charges are paid. For additional information, email Library@uhsp.edu.
