How to Renew

All materials may be renewed online except for materials borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. Please contact the circulation department to request a renewal for an Interlibrary Loan.

To renew:

After logging in, check the appropriate boxes in the RENEW column and click "Renew Marked." To renew everything, click "Renew All."

If the item renews successfully, a new due date will appear under "Status."

If an item does not renew, a message will appear on the screen. Possible reasons an item does not renew:

Too many renewals: the item has been renewed the maximum number of times. Please return the item to avoid being charged overdue fines.
You owe too much money: you must pay your overdue fees before you can renew your items. Pay your fees or return the item(s) to avoid being charged overdue fines.
Too soon to renew: the item was just checked out. Wait a few days and try again.
