Replacement Costs & Fees

Dickinson charges a flat fee of $50.00 for replacement plus a $15.00 non-refundable processing fee for lost items or items not returned by three weeks after the due date. We also charge a $25 repair fee for damaged items. Refunds will be issued for items found only if the item has not been purchased. Replacement costs for lost or damaged items borrowed through interlibrary loan will be assessed by the lending library and charged to your student account.
