University Libraries does not charge late fees for most overdue items, except for reserve textbooks and borrowed technology.

For reserve textbooks on hourly loan within the library, the late return fee is $5 per hour. For extended loans (1 or more days), the fee is $15 per day. Please see our technology loan policies for details on late fees and replacement costs by item type.

The library will charge replacement costs for any long overdue, lost or damaged items. The charge will be removed if long overdue items are returned.

Please contact the Circulation Department at ecirc@mailbox.sc.edu with any questions about fines on your library account. If you believe you have been charged in error, you can submit an online appeal.
