When an item has reached its maximum overdue fine or is 30 days overdue or when you tell us that you have lost an item, we bill you for the replacement of that item.
Bill-for-replacement charges consist of 3 parts:
- The replacement cost of the item (from Books In Print or from the average NEW price for books in that subject area if the book is no longer in print)
- The overdue fine
- A processing fee of $35.00
Damaged materials:
- Materials that are returned damaged but salvagable, as determined by the Libraries' Preservationist: You will be billed $10 for mending/rebinding.
- Materials that are returned damaged and not salvagable, as determined by the Libraries' Preservationist: You will be billed for the Libraries' costs to replace the item (price of the item, $35 processing fee, and overdue fine if applicable).
Library fines and fees are billed to your account with the UT Arlington Accounting & Business Services Office. Payments are made at the UT Arlington Bursar's Office on the 1st floor of Davis Hall.
The Library Appeals Panel meets several times each year to resolve disputes over billed fines and fees.
