McKillop Library-Services -Circulation- Fines & Bills

FINES, BILLING and OVERDUES

Notices are sent when books are overdue. Salve does not charge fines. However, if a patron receives a third notice this should be considered as a bill for the material.

FIRST NOTICE: sent seven days after due date of material not returned.

SECOND NOTICE: sent fourteen days after the first notice

THIRD NOTICE (BILL): mailed seven days after the second notice. This is a bill.

RATES FOR BILLED MATERIAL:
Book - $50
Oversize book - $90
Video/DVD - $50
Cassette - $50

Bills may be paid at the Business Office or the McKillop Library. If bill is paid at the Business Office, the Business Office will notify the library within five working days in order to reinstate all borrower privileges. The library cannot accept charge cards. A copy of the bill is sent to the Business Office. Checks should be made out to Salve Regina University. If mailed, address to McKillop Library 100 Ochre Point Ave. Newport, RI 02840. Bills are expunged if material is returned to the library within a reasonable time period. Patrons are not reimbursed if, after paying bills, materials are found.

All bills must be paid before students can access their transcripts or receive their diploma. In addition, unpaid bills will sanction patron's use of other HELIN Institutions.

Some institutions within the HELIN Consortium do charge fines for overdue material. Salve does not collect fines for institutions that do charge fines.
