Locker guidelines

Purpose

The college makes lockers available to students to facilitate the daily storage of their learning materials and items related to their studies. The college manages lockers to ensure responsible use of property and for the health and safety of individuals.    

All locker usage is monitored on a regular basis. Locker regulations apply to all occupants.    

The registration of a locker constitutes an agreement, on the part on the occupant, to abide by and follow the regulations as enforced by Conestoga College.    

Fees and registration

An individual agrees to only occupy the locker that is assigned to them at the point of sale and only until the specified expiry date.   

Conestoga College is private property. All locker usage is strictly by permission only. Conestoga College assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the safety of items left in lockers at any time.   

Locker use is by official assignment only through the Locker Administration system. The Locker occupant is defined as the individual assigned to the locker within the Locker Administration system.   

An occupant may only rent one locker at a time. Occupants are not permitted to share a locker with another individual.   

Occupants will be required to provide their own lock.   

Occupants may change their selected locker after the term has begun, subject to availability.   

Students who withdraw from the college or fail to enrol within the following term, forfeit the use of a locker.   

Students registered with Accessibility Services and have specific locker needs are required to email Locker Administration by email at lockeradmin@conestogac.on.ca.   

Unauthorized use

Flammable materials, dangerous chemicals, explosives, weapons, alcohol, drugs and drug paraphernalia are strictly prohibited inside lockers.  

Conestoga College reserves the right to enter a locker or cancel the locker rental agreement and remove the lock and contents of an occupant without the consent or presence of the occupant:  

  • If the safety or security of the college becomes in question
  • In the event of a structural emergency (e.g. broken pipes or electrical repairs) or other such instances
  • Due to a failure to follow locker regulations including failure to remove items after the rental expiry period, or
  • At any time the college deems necessary with just cause and managerial approval.

In the event of unpaid and/or illegal occupancy, or occupancy past the expiry date, the locker will be opened, the contents removed, and the contents will be placed in storage. Any liquids, chemicals or perishable items collected will not be stored. The contents will be retained for no more than 14 days. After this time the contents will be disposed of as per college policy.   

Individuals who wish to receive their removed locker contents are required to contact Locker Administration at lockeradmin@conestogac.on.ca.
