    Locker Reservations

    Designated lockers in the locker rooms are available to rent for the semester. A fee of $20 is required to reserve one locker and one lock.

    Contracts are able to roll-over for one semester at no extra cost. The end of each academic year will require a new contract and payment. This must be done before the end of each semester or locks will be removed and belongings will be held by University Recreation for one month. After one month, belongings will be taken to the Department of Public Safety.

    Lockers and locks must remain in good condition, or else privileges will be revoked. A locker in good condition is defined as:

    • Without any damage to the outside or inside of the locker, such as scratches, marks, dents, drawing or lettering
    • Without any damage to the lock
    • Without any damage to the door and/or the locking system on the locker door

    The University is not liable for any stolen items removed from a reserved locker. To prevent theft, it is recommended that all persons with reserved lockers maintain their lockers and accompany them with locks.

    Only gym items and attire may be kept in reserved lockers.

    Failure to comply with these regulations will result in removal from the locker reservation program.
