One or more hard due date(s) can be set up for a library to force the circulation due on selected date(s). The hard due date is used in the circulation policy based on patron profile and/or item circulation modifier. It may be used to extend or shorten the regular loan duration. For example, it may be used to grant faculty members term loan by an Always Use? TRUE hard due date, or to force all students to return their items by the end of the term by an Always Use? FALSE hard due date, which takes effect when the regular due date falls after the hard due date. Please contact Co-op Support if you wish to use hard due date.
