Renewals

You can renew most UW Libraries materials as often as you need. Items checked out through Summit can be renewed once.  

You can renew your loans online through your Library Account. You can also request a renewal by replying to due date reminder emails, in person at a circulation desk, or by calling Central Circulation Services at 206-543-2553. 

The following types of items are not renewable and are subject to overdue fines:

  • Items requested by another borrower
  • Course Reserves
  • Equipment
  • Items checked out through Interlibrary Loan 
  • Items billed for replacement

Due Date Changes

Due dates can change. When this happens:

  • You will receive an email letting you know that an item has been requested by another borrower and your due date may have changed. Check your Library Account for updated due dates.
  • Items requested by other borrowers are not renewable and are subject to overdue fines.
  • Questions about a due date change? Reply to the email notice for help.
