There is a $10 administrative fee to collect any belongings that are left in lockers after the clean out date.  Items are kept at Client Services for 1 month and then donated to a local charity.  If you are not renewing your locker, please leave the lock that was provided at the beginning of your membership on your locker, locked.  When returning your towel at the end of the semester, make sure to swipe your membership/student card at the issuing window and ensure that the staff behind the desk have "returned" your towel into our inventory system.  There is a $10 lost towel charge and a $15 lost lock charge (if the lock is not left on your locker or is misplaced) that will be automatically applied to your account.  The Department of Athletics is not responsible for the loss or damage of any items removed during locker clean out.
