Organization Storage Policy and Guidelines
General Guidelines for Holding and Managing a Storage Space
- Agreements will be reviewed each school year. Organizations may need to reapply for storage space annually.
- SILC is not responsible for damage done or loss of student organization materials due to Union infrastructure and other storage room users. Storing materials here is at the risk of the organization.
- SILC will contact organizations storing supplies at the beginning of each school year to have them reapply for the space, and failure to respond or remain in communication with SILC regarding storage may result in termination of use and removal of items.
- The responsibility of communicating with and receiving communication from SILC is passed on to new officers when transitions occur. It is the responsibility of outgoing officers to ensure the new officers are aware of their organizations use of this space and the requirements for using it.
Guidelines for All Storage Spaces
- Only members listed on the student organization’s roster are eligible to access storage spaces to receive organization materials.
- All materials or boxes of materials must be clearly labeled with the organization’s name, either in the design or with masking tape provided by SILC.
- Stored items must not be easily replaceable (forks, plates, etc.). All items stored must be unique to their organization and used semi-frequently for organization-related matters.
- Stored items must be legal to own, non-flammable, and must meet the parameters for approved items on campus by the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
- Archive files are prohibited from being stored in SILC-granted storage spaces.
- Organization members must adequately maintain the items their organization is storing, as well as provide upkeep to the storage space as necessary. Should any damage occur to a space, an organization member must alert a member of SILC staff.
- Organization members will treat storage spaces and the items of other organizations with respect. Members will refrain from touching the items of other organizations and will not intentionally damage any property, either that of organizations or of the University.
Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in eviction of the organization's items from SILC-managed storage spaces and potential restriction from using these spaces in the future.
