Lockers

The ECSS administers FREE student locker allocation in the Engineering Lab Wing (ELW). If you are a UVic student (even one outside of engineering and computer science) you are welcome to use a personal locker provided the following conditions are met:

• You provide your own lock: if you do not keep a lock on your registered locker, we will assume that you have abandoned it and reserve the right to issue it to another student without warning.

• You do not store dangerous or illegal items in your locker.

• You do not allow perishable food stored in your locker to rot.

• You register your locker with us immediately after placing a lock on it.

Register your locker online*, or come by the office in ELW 206. Clubs are eligible on a case-by-case basis for storage in multiple lockers; please contact the ECSS for details.

* please email dirit@uvicecss.ca (include your name, UVic email, and desired locker number) if there is any problem.

Lockers are available to register any day of the year. If you have a registered locker, it must be emptied and the lock removed OR the registration must be renewed by August 31st at 11:59pm no matter what day of the year you registered. If you do not renew your locker by August 31st, we will move the contents to storage for up to 4 months (one semester). Items held beyond that time are subject to disposal.

When registering a locker, you must first check the registration locker email that will be sent to your inbox after signing up (they are often sent to spam). Please check the email you registered your locker with regularly for updates on your registration status.

DISCLAIMER: The lockers are located in buildings which students have 24-hour keycard access to, so use caution regarding storage of valuables. The ECSS takes no responsibility for the security of items stored in student lockers.
