Locker Rentals

A. Locker Rentals

1. A limited number of lockers are available for rental throughout the academic year. To secure a locker, students must use the online rental system, must be actively registered in courses and must abide by the procedures, terms and conditions outlined below. Rental agreements are established by NAIT administration and NAIT reserves the right to terminate a rental agreement at its discretion for any campus security violations, student misconduct and/or breach of the stated rental terms and conditions.
2. To ensure the selected locker is near the student’s classroom, students should wait until they have received their timetable before choosing their locker.

B. Rental Rates

1. Locker rental rates are subject to change and are effective as of the start of the term/period the locker is rented. No refunds will be issued for any locker payments that have been received. Lockers are non-transferrable between students.
2. The rates above are for locker rental only. Students must provide their own locks and assume sole responsibility for any damages to the locks that may be incurred.
3. Disclaimer, as outlined in NAIT's Academic Regulations and Procedures:
   Although NAIT provides a safe educational environment, thefts from lockers and other areas do occur. Goods may also be vandalized, damaged or lost. Students and other individuals attending classes or visiting NAIT for any reason whatsoever are solely responsible for their goods and belongings. NAIT shall not be responsible for theft or loss of any goods for any reason. It is the responsibility of the student or other individuals to ensure that their goods are stored safely and that their owner's or tenant's insurance policy provides for replacement of goods or possessions that may be stolen, vandalized, damaged or lost. The best insurance against loss is to leave articles that are not needed at home or for the student to carry valuables with them at all times. Valuables should never be left in lockers overnight.
