Fine Payments and Book Replacements
It is very important that fine payments are processed and recorded correctly. Failure to do so could cause any number of difficulties for patrons. Several situations will happen to patrons who owe fines over $10.00:
- The patron's borrowing privileges will be suspended.
- Students will be prevented from getting marks, transcripts or diplomas, as a result of a Banner block.
- Students will not be able to register for classes.
Since patrons can pay fines owing to any Novanet library at our Circulation desk, it is important to record fines owing to SMU separately from those owing to other libraries. Otherwise, Financial Services will not have the correct figures for funds to be received from, or to be sent to the Novanet office.
