Q. Will I get a fine if I don't return my books on time?

There is a two-day grace period for all items. If items are not returned or renewed within or before the grace period, your borrowing entitlements are suspended at all campus libraries.

While we do not issue fines for overdue items, a demerit point system does exist. Items not returned within the grace period accrue demerit points from the date they become overdue:

• Most collections (eg. Main, Quarto, Textbook, TRC, Multimedia, Realia) - 1 point per day per item

When you reach 40 demerit points, you will be suspended from borrowing for 14 days. If you reach 80 demerit points, you will be suspended for 28 days.
