Users will receive auto-generated notices via email or mail as library items approach their due date, 7 days overdue, 14 days overdue, 28 days overdue, and at the time a fine/fee is placed on an account.
All overdue library materials will automatically accrue a $60 late fee per item. Please note: certain items, such as technology, Interlibrary Loans, or rare books, will accrue an overdue fee equivalent to the replacement cost of the item.
The continued accrual of library fines will result in the suspension of library borrowing privileges.
Any associated overdue fees will be waived upon the return of the item in proper working order. As such, the user is responsible for the replacement cost of broken, damaged, or unusable materials.
Library borrowing privileges will be reinstated if items are returned in proper working order.
Library staff reserve the right to contact users regarding overdue items at any time.
Additional questions regarding user responsibility, overdue items, or fines & fees can be directed to the library staff at library@wit.edu.
Escalation to Student Accounts
If the item(s) remain overdue, the Library reserves the right to forward the user's information and associated overdue fees to the Student Accounts Office. At this time, all payment must be completed through the Student Accounts Office.
Users are still responsible for returning or replacing lost items after graduation or leaving the university.
Questions can be directed to the Student Accounts Office at 617-989-5043 or to studentaccounts@wit.edu.
