Renewing Materials

Renewals

To renew an item, you may bring it into the library, or you may renew electronically through the Libraries' Catalog. There are a number of instances where items may not renew. These may include but are not limited to: items that are long overdue or have fines; items that have been recalled or placed on hold; some items from the Music and the Education Libraries; or the number of online renewals has been exceeded.

Faculty Renewals

For the January 31 and September 30 due dates, faculty members may renew items by signing their renewal letters and returning the letters to the libraries. On May 31, faculty must bring all items into the libraries for renewal.

There are no renewals by phone or e-mail.
