Renewals
- UNCG students, faculty and staff may renew general stacks and other specific collections materials online using Renew Items and My Account, or in person at the Checkout Desk.
- Before renewing please check your Account Expiration Date on the Renew Items/My Account login page. No renewal will extend the due date past this date. If your due date matches your Account Expiration Date and you renew anyway, you will receive the same due date as your present date due and it will count as one of your renewals.
- UNCG Staff: Overdue items or outstanding library fines prevent online renewal of any items.
