Library Fines

When you borrow, an email containing the due date will be sent to your Navitas Professional address. For each item not returned or renewed by this date, fines are charged as follows:

• $1.00 per day - General collection, 7 Day loans, DVDs and interlibrary loans
• $5.00 per hour - Special Reserve items.

Courtesy notices are also emailed 2 days before an item is due, followed by notices at 4 and 14 days overdue.

A block is put on borrowing rights (including renewals) when fines reach $50. To reinstate borrowing rights a minimum of $10 must be paid and fines must be reduced below $50. Outstanding fines or bills for replacement can impact on graduation or course progression.

When a book is 15 days overdue, a bill for replacement is issued. Replacement of items is charged at a minimum rate of $120 per item. If replacing an item, the following additional fees will apply: replacement fee, process fee, and accrued late fines.

To pay a fine please:

1. Contact library staff to confirm total payment amount.
2. Pay the amount on the ACAP Flywire payment system.
3. Provide a copy of the receipt to the library staff.
