Fines and Charges Fines for overdue materials are .10 cents per day per item up to a maximum fine of $20.00 per item. Any student who has an unpaid fine on the books at the end of the semester will not be able to get his/her grades or transact any college business (obtaining transcripts, etc.) until the fines are paid.
