Fines and Fees:

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LIBRARY ITEMS CHECKED OUT WITH YOUR CARD. IF YOU LOSE YOUR CARD OR IT IS STOLEN, TELL US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THERE IS NO "GRACE" PERIOD ON OVERDUE MATERIAL. BOOKS RETURNED LATE OR BOOKS THAT ARE LOST ARE SUBJECT TO FINES, A PROCESSING FEE, AND/OR A REPLACEMENT CHARGE.

• Overdue books: 25 cents per day, maximum of $10 per item; 50 cents per item per day if item has been recalled.
• Overdue AV/Media: $1.00 per day, maximum of $10 per item.
• Lost books and AV/Media: $60 per item or replacement cost or exact replacement item and late fines and processing fee.

Note: Accumulated fines of $10 or more will block patrons from borrowing any additional library material. Library financial obligations must be paid before you register, graduate, or get a transcript. The Library participates in the State of Hawai'i Tax Setoff Program where unpaid financial obligations may be collected from your state income tax refund. Ruling 90-30 Uniform Information Practice Act October 23, 1990 The State of Hawai‘i, Department of the Attorney General, Office of Information Practices states that: The fact that a person owes or has paid a fine to the Library is NOT confidential information. Information regarding what material is used will continue to be private, however the disclosure of information regarding Library fines would not result in an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Public interest in this information outweighs the privacy interest of the individual. The Library will comply with this ruling by releasing names of individuals owing fines and fees to the Library and the amount to the best capability of our automated systems. DELINQUENT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS (Reprinted from the UH West O'ahu General Catalog) All students are expected to meet their financial obligations when due. These obligations include student loan payments, payment for tuition and fees, library fines, restitution for damaged items borrowed from the University and service charges for dishonored checks. Students who fail to remit payments when due will be subject to the rules and regulations governing delinquent obligations that have been adopted by the University of Hawai`i. Obligations incurred at other campuses within the University of Hawai`i system will also affect a student’s standing at the University of Hawai`i-West O`ahu. The University shall have the right to impose sanctions such as denial of further registration, cancellation of registration, withdrawal of services and withholding of documents such as transcripts and diplomas, notation of the financial obligation on outgoing transcripts, as well as cessation of all rights and privileges which were conferred by the act of registration.
