​​​​​​​​​​Overdue ​Fines​​

Overdue fines: 1$ per item per day and must be paid at the AUB cashier’s office. Kindly note that the library does not accept any other type of payment.

The Library will send an email courtesy notice one week before the due date. For any overdue item(s) you will receive the first email notice on the day of the overdue. Library will send up to three overdue notices.

• ​​​​​​If the item is not returned within two days of the overdue date, fines will start accumulating until the item is returned.
• ​​​​​If the item is not returned, you may not borrow or renew until your record is cleared.
• ​​​​​If the item is not returned after you receive the three overdue notices, the item will be considered lost and you will be charged the cost of that item. Cost will be deducted from your salary (Faculty and Staff), or added to your statement of fees (Student).
  
  

Unpaid Fines

For any unpaid fine, you will receive up to three email notices from the library until fines are paid. After the three notices, if fines are not paid, they:

• ​​​​​​​will be added to your Statement of Fees (Student).
• ​​​​​will be deducted from your salary at the end of the month (Staff).

If you have unpaid fines, you may not register until your record is cleared.
