Determine if I Owe Fines or Fees

Items Borrowed from VCU Libraries Collections

Late fines are applied to overdue materials.  See the Borrowing Polices for details.

Fines may be paid over the phone with a credit or debit card or in person with a card, cash, check or RamBucks.

 

Items Borrowed from other Libraries through Interlibrary Loans

Items Patrons Borrowed Directly from Other Libraries

  • Fees and fines vary with RALC, VIVA and other libraries.
  • You must contact the lending library directly to determine the amount owed and to pay all fees and fines.
