Overdue Items

Students and Courtesy Card Holders

After three overdue notices your library account will be blocked. A hold and a charge will be placed on your university account. The charge will be either the value of the item or $100.00, whichever is greater.

Library account blocks and university account holds can be removed by returning the material to the library and/or paying any charges at the WSU Warrior Hub. If material that has been paid for at the Warrior Hub is later returned to the library, refunds may be granted at the discretion of the library.

Overdue Reserve items may result in a blocked account at any time. Blocks are removed when the item is returned. 

Faculty / Staff

Items overdue for seven days, may incur a block on your account. Blocks are removed when the item is returned. 

Charges for overdue Resource Sharing materials are determined by the lending library.
