Locker FAQs

  • When do lockers become available?

    Lockers can be requested at the Info Hub, located in the Lower Level of Beatty Hall, beginning the last day of classes in the prior semester.

  • Who can get a locker?

    Undergraduate commuter students may lease lockers on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • How do I sign up for a locker?

    Beginning the last day of classes, you can request a locker for the following semester at the Info Hub located in the Lower Level of Beatty Hall. To request a locker, you will need your WIT ID. 

  • How much do lockers cost?

    Lockers are free for commuter students with a valid WIT ID.

  • I want a locker in a specific location. Is this possible?

    Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will do our best to accommodate any requests but we recommend requesting your locker as early as possible. 

  • How long do I get to keep my locker?

    Lockers are leased for one academic semester and must be renewed or emptied by the last day of finals for that semester. Any items left in the locker after finals will be removed. 

  • Do I need to renew my locker every semester?

    Yes. You will have the opportunity to renew your lease prior to the registration period for new locker occupants. Students who will be graduating, studying abroad, or going on Co-Op will not be eligible to renew their lease. Co-Op students can register for a new locker after the initial two week registration period

  • I want to make sure I keep the same locker. How and when do I renew it?

    Locker renewal emails are sent out two weeks prior to the final exam period reminding you to fill out a Locker Renewal Form online to keep your current locker or turn in a locker you no longer wish to use. If you do not fill out the renewal form, you must clear your locker by the end of final exams. Your lock will be changed and your locker reassigned to another student.

  • I forgot my locker combination. How may I obtain it?

    You may visit the Info Hub, the Center for Student Life in Beatty Hall, room 026 or contact Brandon Gorham to request your locker combination, locker number, or location. We recommend keeping your locker information stored safely in your email or phone for reference.

  • My locker has been damaged or broken.

    Contact Public Safety at (617) 989-4444 if any suspicious activity occurs including a broken lock, missing lock, or damaged locker. To ensure your locker is secure, make sure to close the lock and turn the dial a few times and check it before leaving.

  • I'm not sure how to use the combination lock 

    To open a combination lock you will need to turn the dial to the right 3 full turns to clear the lock. After you turn the dial 3x to the right, stop on the first number in your locker combination. Turn the dial to the left one full turn and then continue turning the dial to the left to the second number in your combination. Turn the dial directly to the third number in the combination. Check out a video.

Choosing a Locker Location

Consider the following when choosing a locker location:

  • Where are most of your classes?
  • What times will you need to access your locker (only weekdays, weekends, later in the evening)? Some academic buildings close when classes are not in session so access is limited in the late evening and on weekends ( Rubenstein and Watson halls). For lockers with late night and full weekend access, you should consider Annex or Beatty.
  • Where do you plan on spending the most time?
  • How are you commuting to campus (car/train/etc) and which locker location will be on your way to campus or on your way home.
