Once you've paid your replacement fee at https://go.spalding.edu/fees, please email us at [email protected] so the fee and holds can be removed from your Spalding accounts.

If you're not sure how much you owe, you can check your library account


In the Spalding tradition of compassion and equity, the library never wants finances to be a barrier to access. Therefore, we do not charge recurring fines on our regular circulation materials. However, please note that replacement fees are charged for damaged, lost, and long overdue items as detailed below:

Replacement Fees
Item Type Replacement Fee
Laptops $400 for laptop, $35 for charger
Laptops with SPSS software $500 for laptop & software, $35 for charger
ILL items Fee determined by lending library
All other items Purchase price of newest version of item

Holds will be placed on the accounts of patrons with damaged, lost, or long overdue items until items are returned or replacement fees are paid.

If you have questions or concerns about fees or holds on your library account, please contact the Collections & Online Resources Librarian.
