Notes on Borrowing:
- All items that are late are subject to fines and/or processing fees. Items that are three (3) days overdue will be considered "Lost" and a replacement charge will be placed on the patron's account.
- Cardholders are responsible for all items checked out under their ID.
- Borrowing privileges will be suspended for outstanding fines of $15.00 or more. Students will be placed on academic hold and university privileges such as registration and transcript requests will be suspended until the account falls under that amount.
- Because Studio fines are higher than elsewhere in the Library, suspensions can happen when items are overdue by one day.
- Fines can be paid at the Check Out Desk on the first floor with Scrappy Cash, or at the Bursar with cash or check. Want to pay online? Ask us how!
- Lost items will be billed at the market rate for that item plus a $5 non-refundable processing fee. In lieu of payment, patrons may provide an agreed-upon replacement to Studio.
- Damaged items will be billed at the full repair cost, unless Studio deems that replacement will cost less to the borrower.
- Borrowers are only allowed to check out one of any “kind” of equipment.
- Unfortunately, Studio equipment is only available to UTC students, faculty, and staff.
