You can usually renew an item if it isn't overdue and there are no other requests for it.

Renew online at My Account.

  1. Click on My Account at the top right of the page.
  2. Use your SMU credentials to open your library account. Visitors use the ID issued to them at the Main Desk. 
  3. Under Loans, view the items you have checked out.
  4. Click on "Renew All" at the top right of your item list or on "Renew" next to the individual item.
  5. Verify that the due date changed, indicating your renewal was successful.
