Renewal Exceptions

1. Short-term loan items, such as course reserves or equipment such as laptop chargers or DVD players are not renewable
2. Renewals of Resource Sharing items are dependent on approval from the lending library. Renewing a Resource Sharing item online just sends a renewal request to the lending library, but it is not guaranteed. You will receive an email letting you know if your request has been approved, and its new due date if it was, or if it was denied, meaning it is due back by the original due date. 
3. If another patron has recalled an item you currently have checked out, you are unable to renew it.
