How do I return my ILL book if I lost the pre-paid envelope?

No problem—this happens! We’ll help you get a new return label so you can send your book back.

Option 1: Request a new prepaid return label (recommended)

  1. Email the Circulation Desk at: circdesk@nu.edu
  2. Let us know you’ve lost your prepaid return envelope
  3. We’ll send you a replacement shipping label by email

Next step:

  • Print the label and attach it to your package to return the book

Option 2: Drop off in person (San Diego only)

You can return your ILL book at:

  • Spectrum Campus (San Diego, CA) (the only campus that accepts ILL returns)

Before you drop it off:

  • Attach a note with:
    • Your name
    • A message that the book should go to the Library / ILL

A staff member will make sure it gets to the right place.
