Storage information for your luggage during summer!

Hello, it's Luna. Are you ready to go back to your home in the summer? Or are you traveling to another country? The finals are not over yet, but the exciting season is coming! If you don't have any plans yet, I hope you make a great plan after the finals. Today, I'm going to talk about the storage information provided by the campus. If you live on campus during the 2024 fall semester, you can use each resistance hall's storage. If it's hard to carry all your luggage to your home, this would be a good option for you.

Rules of Campus Life Storage Room

• Residence Hall’s RA staff(s) are responsible for maintaining Resident and RA storage procedures during move in and move out. 
• Storage rooms containing shelving MUST have all items stored on the shelves. Refrigerators may be stored on the floor.
•  All items must be clearly labeled with the students name and contact information. Each item must have a fully completed storage label.
• Items may not have more than one storage label on them while in storage.
