The following policies apply to the John C. Hitt Library, the Curriculum Materials Center (CMC), the Downtown Campus Library, and the Rosen Library. Policies may vary at UCF Connect Libraries.
Until library materials are received by the UCF Libraries, they are the responsibility of the borrower. Credit for return will be given when the material is checked in a UCF Libraries location. Materials returned to a non-UCF library or any other facility remains the responsibility of the borrower until they are received at the UCF Libraries and checked in.
Lost or Damaged Items
All materials which have been lost, damaged or stolen should be reported immediately. If the item is overdue by more than 30 days it is automatically assumed lost. Patrons will be billed for the replacement cost of lost or stolen items; replacement copies can no longer be accepted. In the case of damaged items, patrons will be billed for replacement costs.
Missing Items
For items that are not checked out and cannot be found on the shelf, the item can be reported missing at the Circulation Desk of the John C. Hitt Library or the service desk of the Curriculum Materials Center (CMC), the Downtown Campus Library, or the Rosen Library. Library Staff will then conduct a thorough search for the requested item over a period of several weeks. When an item becomes available for pick up, you will be notified via email and the item will be held for one week from the date of notification.
