Yes, you can! To renew items online: 

  • Go to the Novanet catalogue.
  • Click on 'Sign In' at the top right to sign in
  • Enter your SMU email and password.
  • Once you are logged in, click on your name on the top right.
  • Click on 'My Loans'. You will see a list of the items you have out and whether or not they are renewable. Select Renew All, or click Renew next to each item.
  • Once you are finished renewing, double check the new due dates to make sure each renewal was successful.

Library material may be renewed three times, unless an item is on hold, has been recalled by another borrower, or if you have library fines to reduce. If you have renewed an item three times, and the due date has passed, it must be returned. 

If you have any questions, please email access@smu.ca.
