What will I be charged for overdue items?
Fines are calculated for each day the library is open. Please note that due dates may fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
For regular overdue materials:
- $0.25 per day per item, excluding videos and reserves.
- Videos: $1.00 per day per item
- Reserves: $1.00 per hour per item
- MAXIMUM: $30.00 per item that is overdue by 8 weeks or more. In addition, a replacement charge and $5.00 processing fee will be placed on the borrower's record.
For overdue short term loans and board games at a rate of:
- $1.00 per hour
- MAXIMUM: $30.00 after 24 hours. This fine, a $5.00 processing fee and the replacement cost of the book or board game will then be posted to the patron's account. If returned, patrons will only be responsible for paying the $30.00 fine.
How do I pay my fines?
Fines may be paid in-person at any library service desk. Debit or cash is accepted.
Will I be notified of overdue fines?
Yes. All users with overdue items will be sent notices to their Sheridan email account alerting them to outstanding fines.
What happens if I don't pay the fine?
A user's borrowing privileges are suspended when fines reach $3.50.
The College's finance department will pursue payment for any long-outstanding fines. Users must pay fees in order to pay registration fees for future terms or to receive their diploma, degree or certificate from the College.
