Overdue Fees:

There is a $110 minimum replacement fee for long overdue (14 days minimum) interlibrary loan materials.  When long overdue interlibrary loan materials are returned, the user will still owe a $10 non-refundable overdue processing fee.  The user's ILLiad record remains blocked until all overdue interlibrary loan materials are returned and fees are paid.

 

See Fines and Fees for information about overdue fines for materials borrowed from VCU Libraries.
