Sidney-Pacific is changing the way we collect fines and rental fees.  From now on, residents pay fines directly to the front desk either by cash or check.  Residents will have 4 weeks to pay off fines and rental fees.  At that point, he or she will be unable to check out items until they pay off their fines and fees (spare keys will always be available).  Alternatively, if a resident has unpaid fines above $20 they will also be locked out until they resolve them.  Email reminders will be sent out before that happens, and you can always check your “My Account” page on the Sidney-Pacific website.  We’ll be rolling this system out in the next few weeks, so look out for posters and an email announcing the start of the new collection policy.  If you have any comments or questions send sp-vp-info@mit.edu an email.
