Late Fees:

KU students, staff, and faculty are never fined for overdue items.
Students who don't return an item by 30 days past its due date receive a billing notice indicating the replacement fee. A library hold is also placed in their record on MyKU until the item is returned. If you have a library hold, you cannot register, receive grades or transcripts. Call the library's Information Desk at 610-683-4480 to find out about clearing your record.

Courtesy Patrons with overdue items are charged ten cents per day per item up to a maximum of $10. Overdue fines are waived when you pay to replace an item, or provide a new copy of a lost item. Borrowing privileges are suspended when a Courtesy Patron owes $10 or more.
Rohrbach Library is unable to accept cash. To pay for overdue fines or printing, Courtesy Patrons must purchase a Paw Pass (a re-loadable debit card) in the KUCard office at the Academic Forum and present the Paw Pass at the Information Desk.
