Renewing items and placing holds

Renewals

Books, audiobooks, supplements, and Nonprint materials from the second floor collections may be renewed, as long as no other patrons have placed a hold on them. Items may be renewed up to 2 times. To renew, log in to your Library account with your student ID number and MyPortal password. Then, click the "Renew" button to the right of each item you would like to renew. If the item is eligible to be renewed, you will see the new due date in the center column. You may also come to the Circulation Desk for help. Remember, course reserves are not eligible for renewals.

Holds

You may place holds on items from the second floor collections. Holds may be placed on available materials as well as items that are currently checked out.  If you see an item in the catalog that you want and it is eligible for holds, there will be a "Place Hold" button on the right of the copies window. Click the button and enter your student ID and MyPortal password to complete the hold. You will receive an automated email notification when your material is ready to be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
