CLICC Fines & Fees Policy

All CLICC Equipment not returned by the due date/time will result in the below charges to your UCLA Library Account:

  • Late Fine - $0.20 per minute per item after any device or equipment is late (maximum $50).
  • Item Replacement Fee - After 24 hours from the due date - in addition to the late fee at $0.20 per minute (or $12.00 per hour) - the item will be considered 'Lost' and an Item Replacement Fee will be charged. If a device is returned damaged or an accessory is missing, the patron is subject to fines for fixing the damaged item or the cost to replace the item.
