Overdue for 30 days or more: Items are assumed lost after 30 days of being overdue. You will be charged $150 for each lost book or media item. This $150 lost item charge includes a $125 replacement fee and a $25 processing fee. You will not be able to borrow additional items from the library until you either return the lost item(s) or pay $150 per lost item. If you return an item within two months of being billed, the $125 replacement fee will be waived; however, you will still be required to pay the $25 processing fee for each item returned.
Overdue electronic devices, such as digital cameras and laptops, will also be charged a $25 processing fee; however, the replacement fee will be dependent on the type of device the student borrowed.
All outstanding amounts are forwarded to the Business Office on the first business day of each month. At that point, charges are added to your Defiance College account and will be handled through the Business Office.
This information is featured in the student handbook. Remember, renewal and billing replacement notices are sent to your college email account. Failure to take action on notices or bills does not exempt you from paying replacement charges. Nonpayment may result in the withholding of grade report cards, transcripts, and/or diplomas.
