George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Library Fines Dispute Requests are available to currently registered George Brown Polytechnic students who believe a library fine has been applied in error or who experienced circumstances that affected their ability to return items on time.
To ensure a fair review process, please note the following:
- All fines disputes are reviewed by library staff.
- Each request is assessed individually.
- Possible outcomes include:
- Cancelled fines (when the charge is due to a library or system error)
- Partially reduced fines (when there are compelling circumstances)
