Renewing Items

To renew items currently checked out, use your Ball State username and password to access "My Library Account" in CardCat.  Users not affiliated with Ball State University may request a PIN, which can then be used to login to CardCat.

Alternatively, you may renew items by calling Circulation/Reserves at 765-285-5143.

Ball State affiliates, with a valid Ball State e-mail address, are automatically notified by e-mail of upcoming due dates.  Users who are not affiliated with the University may request electronic notification of upcoming due dates.

Items which circulate four weeks or less may be renewed online twice. Items which circulate longer than four weeks may be renewed online once. For subsequent renewals, bring the materials to any of the University Libraries' circulation desks.

Overdue materials (except for some Reserve materials) may generally be renewed, but you are still responsible for overdue fines. Materials on hold for another borrower may not be renewed.
