Ceiling Date

The due date for a patron type that overrides the normal loan period's calculated due date when the ceiling date is earlier.

A commonly used ceiling date is the last day of school, so all items are due on the last day of school – no matter what their calculated due date would be. On the day after the ceiling date, checkouts revert to the normal loan period.

Note: Consider checking this date each year. Destiny increments the year if needed, and the day (if it would be a day the library is closed), but the actual date may not be correct for your school year.
