Circulation Policies @ LLCC

Lincoln Land Community College Library charges three types of fines: Overdue Fines, Lost Item Replacement Fines, and Lost Item Processing Fees.  The costs of and circumstances when each of these fines are applied are outlined below.

• Overdue Fines: These fines are applied to items that are checked out from LLCC's Course Reserve collection and are returned less than 35 days past the due date.  These fines range from $1.00 per hour to $15.00 per day.
• Lost Item Replacement Fines: These fines are applied to items that are overdue for 35 or more days, ans students will be placed on campus-wide restriction (see below).  LLCC charges patrons the price which we paid for the item.  If the item is returned to us in good condition, this fine is then waived.
• Lost Item Processing Fees: These fines are applied to items that are overdue for 35 or more days.  LLCC charges patrons a $10.00 Lost Item Processing Fee for each lost item.  If the item is returned to us in good condition, this fine is then waived.

If you have any questions you have regarding your fines or fees, please contact the LLCC Library's Circulation desk at (217) 786-2354 or circ@llcc.edu.

Students will be placed on campus-wide restriction if they fail to return library materials within 30 days after the due date.  Students will not be able to register for classes, add or drop classes, receive grades for classes in which they are currently enrolled, obtain transcripts, or receive financial aid disbursements until this matter is resolved.

To remove the restriction,the student must either (1) return each item classified as Lost to the LLCC Library or (2) pay the Lost Item Replacement Fee for each item.

• Fines may be paid in person at the LLCC Library's Circulation desk, located in Sangamon Hall.  We accept cash, checks, and money orders.
