Administration of I.M. Building Men's and Women's Faculty/Staff Locker Rooms, and the I.M. Building and McCoy Natatorium General Locker Room lockers with combination locks are under the authority of the Assistant Director of Reservations, Membership, and Outreach for Campus Recreation. Administration includes, but is not limited to:
All Campus Recreation rentable lockers are rented on a semester basis to individuals requesting the service and paying the fee. The Assistant Director of Reservations, Membership, and Outreach for Campus Recreation supervises all the activities pertaining to collection of fees, reporting, and administration of the Campus Recreation locker renting procedures as described later in this procedure.
Rentable Lockers are in the I.M Building men's faculty/staff, women's faculty/staff locker rooms and general men’s and women’s locker rooms in the I.M Building and White Building and are available to University faculty, staff, student, retirees, and Campus Recreation members. Lockers are assigned to one individual and use of the locker is a privilege.
I.M. Building men’s and women’s faculty/staff locker rooms are available only to current University employees. New locker applicants must present current identification to verify that they are faculty/staff or a retired University employee to the I.M. Building Membership Desk. A waiting list of those desiring lockers, but who cannot be accommodated, is maintained when needed. Locker reassignments are made only from the waiting list as they become available.
Lockers are rented in semester increments but can be stacked in concurrent semester rentals for a two-semester rental or 3-semester rental (annual rental) on a first come first serve basis. Fees are approved by the Associate Vice President for Budget and Finance, and locker holders are notified of any rate change at least 30 days prior to implementation of the new rate. For this fee, Campus Recreation provides a locker. The I.M Building faculty/staff locker room fee includes additional access to shower towels.
When individuals who rent faculty/staff lockers leave the University for any reason other than retirement, their locker assignment shall be discontinued at the end of their employment and a refund of the remaining locker rental fees may be processed when necessary. If the locker assignment is discontinued, the locker is opened for rental or reassigned from the waiting list when needed. Property left within the locker will be handled in accordance with Policy AD13 Lost and Found and Procedure AD2001 Lost and Found Items.
Access to the Men's and Women's Faculty/Staff Locker Rooms in the I.M. Building is issued by the Campus Recreation Master Access Coordinator via the University’s CCURE system and individuals University ID card. The Campus Recreation Master Access Coordinator verifies the purchase of the rented locker in the Fusion software prior to providing access via CCURE.
All locker rental sales are recorded in Campus Recreation's sales software, Fusion, which has separate sales module for Locker Room rentals. Since these locker facilities are assigned on a semester basis, anyone wishing to purchase a locker rental for the I.M. Building Locker Rooms and McCoy Natatorium Locker Rooms, can visit the I.M. Membership Office to complete the process. Accepted forms of payment include credit card and LionCash. Sales are processed by Campus Recreation student staff in Fusion, and then reconciled and posted to the System for Integrated Management, Budget, and Accounting (SIMBA) by Campus Recreation Business Services staff.
The Reservations, Membership, and Outreach Assistant Director and Coordinator are responsible for training Membership and Outreach Attendants on the Fusion sales software, and to directly supervise the oversight of locker fee collection at each sales site. All Membership and Outreach attendants are part-time (Wage Payroll/Work Study) employees hired by Campus Recreation Business Services.

All voided tickets must be forwarded to the Campus Recreation Business Office and held in the safe for audit purposes per the retention schedule specified at the end of this procedure.

Individuals renting lockers will receive an email both 30-days and 15-days from their expiration date.

If a renewal is not completed by the expiration date, the Reservations, Membership, and Outreach Assistant Director, Coordinator, or a Membership and Outreach Attendant will change the lock and remove all property from the locker.
A Campus Recreation employee removes all personal property from each identified locker and tags the bundled equipment with name, locker number. After the lock and the contents are removed, bundled, and tagged, a new combination lock is placed on the locker and the locker is reassigned. Locker contents will be stored and disposed of in accordance with Policy AD13 Lost and Found Items and Procedure AD2001 Lost and Found Items. Campus Recreation shall not be responsible for the loss of any equipment removed from lockers of persons who have not paid their rental fees for lockers.

Day-Use lockers are in the men's and women's general locker rooms in the I.M. Building, White Building, Natatorium, and the Tennis Center Building. This type of system is available for use by students, graduate students, faculty/staff, retirees of the University, and members as available per Policy AD73 Accessing Athletic and Recreational Facilities. The user selects an unoccupied locker, supplies their own lock, or uses a built-in resettable lock, and must relinquish the locker upon completion of a workout. Locks or personal property may not remain in a day-use locker overnight. Day-use locker areas are inspected at closing time or each morning and any lock remaining on any day-use locker is removed.
