Lost Item Fees at TIU: When an item is 30 days overdue it is considered lost. Your account will be billed automatically a $25 Lost Item Processing fee, plus a $100 Lost Item Replacement fee. For TIU students, when the material is returned these fees will be waived and you will only be liable for the overdue fines that have accumulated. For other I-Share students, when the material is returned the Lost Item Replacement fee will be waived, but the Lost Item Processing fee will remain on your account and you will be responsible for paying this fee.
Patrons are responsible for materials they have checked out. If an item is truly lost, the items will billed to your student account on the following scale:
For items requested through I-Share, overdue fines are not assessed. However, once an item is determined to be Lost (30 days after the due date) Lost Item Replacement Fees are assessed, determined by the lending library.
For items requested through WorldShare overdue fines are not assessed. However, once an item is 3 weeks overdue it is considered Lost and will be billed $125, in addition to any lost/replacement fees assessed by the lending library. When the item is returned, all fines/fees will be waived.
