Hi Kate
This reply is too late for your appointment with the irate student, but at
Sheffield we allow a maximum of 10 unseen renewals, but unlimited seen
renewals, provided that there are no reservations. We don't currently have a
grace period but are considering a 1 day period.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
