Overdue and Lost Materials, Billing, and Other Charges

• The first overdue notice will be sent out two (2) weeks after the due date. A letter will be sent four (4) weeks after the due date to include mention of the student's record being blocked at the AWC Business Office.
• Failure to pay library fees will result in your account being turned over to a collection agency, which will include additional collection fees.
• Lost charges for missing items will equal the original list price of the book plus a processing fee of $10.00 for lost cataloged items, interlibrary loan items, as well as lost or damaged video, compact disc, or DVD cases. The cost for damaged materials is the cost of the item plus the appropriate fee or bindery/repair charge if the item is salvageable. Decision is at the discretion of the Circulation Manager.
• Refunds are allowed on lost material if it is returned within ninety (90) days, and the patron has a receipt. The AWC Business Office issues refunds if paid at the Business Office during regular business hours.
