Attention Graduating Seniors
with Overdue Fines
You may soon receive notification that the bill for your library fines and fees has been forwarded to your HUB account.

Because of a tight billing deadline, graduating seniors must pay final library bills at The HUB this year, rather than at one of the libraries. You will not be charged an additional billing fee by the HUB in this instance.

Congratulations on completing your education at Carnegie Mellon!
