borrowing privileges at the discretion of the Program Facilitator. Replacement costs will be

assessed to include shipping. The SA/VS Media Center is responsible for managing large

collections of materials and must provide an incentive for these materials to be returned in a

timely manner. Overdue fines are used as an incentive for borrowers to return items after a

reasonable loan period, so that materials may be properly accounted for and can be made

available for other borrowers. Overdue Notices are issued as a courtesy to all borrowers through

text or email as available.

By checking out, the borrower agrees to all policies & use of their information for

notification purposes. All legitimate objections to charges will be considered.

Problems that do NOT constitute alegitimate basis for consideration are:

-Lack of knowledge or understanding of policies

-Disagreement with amount or fine structure

-Inability to pay fines and charges (Payment plan is not available per University policy)

-Loaning items that are checked out to you to a third party

-Failure to receive or read an overdue or courtesy notice

-Fines accrued during vacation & University holidays

-Conflict of work or school schedules that prohibit timely returns

SA/VS would much rather have items returned on time than to charge fines. We

depend on this system to support our current checkout software so please return

items on time and avoid overdue fines. AGAIN, keep your address current in the

myUK System. Unpaid fines may result in suspension of borrowing privileges, the

withholding of transcripts and/or diplomas, and/or the blocking of class registration.

Claims Returned

If you believe you have returned material that is being billed as overdue, contact the staff at

SA/VS Media Center. Personnel will search for the material but it will stay charged to you & a

note will be given to the Program Facilitator. Further checkout ceases while your claim is in

process.

If the item(s) are found, all charges will be removed. If the material is not found, you will be

assessed a replacement value minus the overdue cost. If there appears to be a recurring pattern

of items claimed to be returned or abuse of our returns policy, you will be charged the

appropriate fines. During the claims returned process, you should continue to look for the

item(s).

If you do find the item(s), return item(s) to Media Center. If no damage is found overdue fines will

be assessed.

Payments
