Avoid paying fines by returning or renewing your items by their due date. All library billing can take 7-10 days to appear on university accounts.
Policies
Books
If a book is overdue by more than 45 days, you’ll be charged $25 per item.
If a book is recalled and becomes overdue, your borrowing privileges will be blocked until you return it.
Items borrowed through Prospector and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) are subject to different loan and fine policies. For more information, email Resource Sharing (ILL) at Library_illstaff@colostate.edu, or call 970-491-1868.
Circulating Technology
Overdue technology is charged $5 for the first hour and $2.50 for every hour after, up to a maximum charge of $25, after the time due. After 10 days overdue the device is subject to replacement costs.
We accept returned overdue circulating technology items within the first 60 days after the due date for refund consideration of replacement cost (overdue fees still apply). After 60 days, we don’t accept overdue technology items and won’t issue refunds for the replacement cost.
Paying Fines
For all library account holders, payments of fines or bills must be through the University Cashier’s Office. For questions about library billing, contact us via the Library Help Email Form.
Failure to pay amounts due may result in the referral of the outstanding balance to a third-party collection agency, at which time a collection fee will be assessed and due in full at the time of the referral. The collection fee will be calculated at the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, but not to exceed 40% of the amount outstanding.
