Graduate Borrower's Policies
All currently enrolled MSU-system graduate students are allowed use of library materials, under the following guidelines:
- A current MSU Student ID is necessary to check out library
materials.
- Circulating books in the general collection may be checked
out for an academic semester. The due date is the last day
of classes. AV materials may be checked out for 3 weeks. Periodicals,
except for current issues, circulate for 3 days. All items
may be renewed once. All items are subject to recall after
3 weeks, if requested by another patron.
- Fines for overdue books and periodicals are assessed at
$0.50 per day/per item. Overdue reserve materials accrue at
$2.00 per item/per hour, up to a daily maximum of $14.00 per
item. Overdue interlibrary loans accrue at $1.00 per day.
There is no maximum fine for interlibrary loan items. Overdue
AV materials accrue at $2.00 per item/per day.
- A patron is responsible for damages to library materials
while checked out under his/her account. Damaged items may
be assessed a fine, depending on the extent of damage. An
item returned in such a condition that it must be replaced
will be treated as lost (see below). All damaged items remain
the property of the library.
- At the end of each semester, unpaid fines will be transferred
to the Business Office for collection. The Business Office
will add the amount due to your student account and may withhold
academic transcripts and other university services from you
until the amount is paid in full.
- Late materials accruing fines up to $25 will be considered
lost. Library materials more than 30 days overdue are also
considered lost. If an item is lost, you will be billed the
replacement cost of the item plus a $20.00 processing fee.
If the item is no longer in print, you will be billed the
average cost for a book/video in the same general subject
area, plus the $20.00 processing fee. If a periodical issue
is no longer in print, you will be billed a flat $25 fee.
Lost material bills are transferred to the Business Office
for collection. The Business Office will add the amount due
to your student account and may withhold academic transcripts
and other university services from you until the amount is
paid in full.
- Borrowing privileges will be suspended if your library fines
accrue to $25, your bills are transferred to the Business
Office, and/or recalled items and interlibrary loan materials
are not returned on time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the library staff at 406-771-4398 or call
1-800-446-2698, ext. 4398. You can also email the Library at library@msugf.edu.
