Library Locker Policy

• Lockers are for use by Colgate faculty, staff, and students only. Lockers are issued only to senior students in the first week of each semester. After the first week, lockers are issued on a first come, first served basis. All borrowers must read and sign the locker policies prior to being issued a locker/key.
• Locker keys are issued from the Borrowing Services Desk. Users must show proper Colgate ID (Gate Card) in order to be issued a key.
• Lockers are issued on a semester basis with key due dates as follows: Fall Semester (December 10); Spring Semester (May 10); and Summer (August 15). Keys not returned after four weeks will be charged a key replacement fee. Keys returned after the due date will also be assessed late fees. Please see Fines & Bills for details. Lockers not cleaned out after the end of the semester due date will be subject to removal of all belongings. Contents will be kept at Borrowing Services Lost and Found for 60 days after which they will be turned over to Campus Safety.
• No personal locks are allowed on lockers located in the Library. Unauthorized locks will be removed and contents transferred to lost and found. There is no automatic renewal. If lockers wish to be kept longer, the key needs to be turned in and reissued in person at the Borrowing Services Desk.
• The following materials may not be stored in lockers:
  • Non-checked out library materials
  • Edibles
  • Hazardous materials
  • Drugs and other contraband
  • Open drink containers
• Lockers will be checked periodically by library staff. Notification of any violation will be sent to the lock holder. At the discretion of the library staff, locker privileges may be revoked.
• Library is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to items in lockers.
