Q. What happens if I turn an item in late?

Most items are fine-free! However, overdue fines will be charged for course reserves and audiovisual equipment. Replacement costs will be assessed for all items once they become extremely overdue, and can be cleared with either payment in full, or by return of the items. Charges may be assessed to any patron if items are damaged beyond normal wear and tear. We send notification of overdue materials, fines, and bills to you by email. Please let us know if you have any changes to your email address, mailing address, or phone number. You may view charges from your library account or by contacting the Front Desk at 540-831-5364 or frontdesk@radford.edu, or the RUC Library service desk at 540-831-2272. Click here for detailed information on Loan Periods and Fines.

Note:

• Please be aware that Teaching Resources Center loan periods and overdue fine policies differ from University Libraries loan periods and overdue fine policies.
• Unpaid charges of $5 or more may result in transcript or diploma blocks for current and former students, as well as suspension of borrowing privileges. Patrons with unpaid charges are submitted to the Virginia Debt Setoff program, and amounts due will be withheld from state tax refunds or other state sources of income.
