Summer Storage Information:

Students who are eligible to store items during the summer must visit the Office of Residence Life in order to sign-up for a time slot. Sign-up sheets will be available from Monday, April 30th thru Wednesday, May 9th (Reading Day).

Storage Guidelines
• Students must live 400 miles or greater in order to be eligible for summer storage. 
• Residents cannot store anything that is flammable, able to melt, or perishable (cans of hairspray, candles, food, etc.).
• All items being stored must be in boxes or containers that are clearly labeled with the resident’s name and summer contact information. Boxes and containers should have lids or be able to be sealed. The only oversized items that will be accepted for storage are items such as fans, vacuums, and refrigerators. (Please download and print off labels)
• All Refrigerators must be defrosted and cleaned before being stored.
• Washington and Jefferson College is in no way responsible for items that are lost, damaged, or stolen while in storage. Items are stored at a resident’s own risk.
Storage Access: It is understood that students may not be able to retrieve their belongings immediately upon returning to campus in the fall; this is especially true for any students moving in early. Students should not place essential items (such as bedding) in storage because they may need to live in their room for several days before being able to access their belongings. (Please review our policy for further details)
