Books and Media borrowed from CMCC: Overdue notices are sent to your CMCC email on the 1st and 8th days after the material is due.  A bill is mailed 21 days after the material is due. The bill reflects the replacement cost of the items..

Reserves Overdue notices are sent to your CMCC email on the 1st day and the 2nd day after the material is due.  A bill is mailed on the 3rd day after the reserve is due. The bill reflects the replacement cost of the items.

Material borrowed from other libraries.  Students are responsible for any fees/fines from other libraries..

Bills are forwarded to the Business Office to be added to a student’s record for payment.  If a student returns a billed Central Maine Community College Learning Commons item, the replacement cost is cancelled. Students who have any outstanding library fines and/or fees will have their borrowing privileges suspended, they will also not be able to register for classes, receive their grades, diplomas, and transcripts.

Overdue notices are only sent as a courtesy, and if you believe you didn't receive an overdue notice, that does not mean you are not responsible for returning the material on time.
