Fines & Fees

Late fines are incurred when items or keys in an allocation are returned after the established return time. The fine amount is as follows:

• $10 immediately, and an additional $10 every half hour after. For example:
  • 10 minutes late = $10 fine        
  • 40 minutes late = $20 fine
  • 1 hour and 20 minutes late = $30 fine
  • 1 hour and 35 minutes late = $40 fine
• Maximum fine of $100 per day
• Maximum fine of the value of the equipment that is late
  • When the value of the gear is less than the fine incurred, the fine is reduced to the total value of the equipment that is late. This is done after the late items are returned to the EDC
• Fines will increase when the EDC is closed
  • The EDC being closed does not stop a fine from increasing. If items are late overnight or over a weekend/Sunday, the late fine will continue to increase
• Late returns to Keytracer will be fined
  • Fines will be impimplementedr keys not returned to the Keytracer cabinet by the return time established in Webcheckout
        

Late fines will result in the suspension of EDC borrowing privileges until the fine is paid.

Fines for improper usage of facilities may be levied on patron's accounts. These fines are determined based on the posted fine in the facility used. All schools reserve the right to add additional fines to students accounts when deemed necessary.

Improper usage refers to the state of the facility (food or drinks in the facility, garbage left in room, equipment/items not put away, disconnecting of equipment/wires, re-wiring of room, etc).

Improper Usage fines will result in the suspension of EDC borrowing privileges until the fine is paid.

It is your responsibility to ensure items borrowed are returned undamaged and in good state to the EDC. Items returned damaged are subject to a fine. The fine amount will be equal to the repair costs. There is no limit for damage fines.

When you borrow items, it is your responsibility to check everything to make sure the work and they are not damaged before you leave the EDC.

Damage fines will result in the suspension of EDC borrowing privileges until the fine is paid.

Any items that are lost while in a patron's possession will result in a fine. Patrons will be charged the replacement value of the items lost.

This includes items that are stolen while in the patron's possession. Fines for lost or stolen items are valid regardless of where they were lost or stolen, be it while on Ryerson property or off-campus. It is the responsibility of the patron to care for all items they have checked out in their possession.

Lost Resource fines will result in the suspension of EDC borrowing privileges until the fine is paid.

Select classes have course material fees associated with them (such as the RTA New Media Tangeblie Media Kit). These fees are payable in the EDC via OneCard.

These fees are not fines, they will not prevent students from borrowing equipment or using facilities.
