All loans are subject to recall and you may be asked to return items at an earlier date.

If another person requests the item you have on loan:

we'll email you a recall notice. You'll need to return the item by the due date stated on the notice
you won't be able to renew the loan
once the item is overdue, you won't be able to borrow
once an item is declared lost, a replacement fee of $95 will be added to your Library record and a block will be placed on your student record. This means you won't be able to re-enrol, change subjects, obtain your academic transcript or graduate until payment has been made in full.
