Late, Lost, or Damaged Items

The library charges fees for late items to ensure continued access to library materials for everyone. You can usually eliminate or reduce late fees by returning the item(s). 

If you have lost or have damaged library materials, please contact us and we can explain the different options.

Billing Procedure

A replacement fee will be charged for each item still checked out after the billing date. All replacement fees and overdue fines are charged to a student's My Stephens/PowerCampus account and will appear on the monthly statement.

For reserve materials, the overdue notice will notify a borrower that if the item is not returned by the billing date (three days from receipt of notice) the borrower will be charged a non-refundable $10 overdue fine in addition to a replacement fee for each item. If the reserve material is returned by the billing date in good condition, only the overdue fine will be charged.

  • Books - Cost of a replacement copy plus $20 processing fee per book.

  • DVDs - Cost of a replacement copy plus $20 processing fee per DVD.
