Storage
In order to take advantage of the storage service, students must live at least 300 driving miles away from campus. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Students assume full responsibility for items placed in any storage area. The University will make every reasonable effort to protect student property; however, it is not in any way liable for the loss, theft, or damage to any property while in storage.
Messiah University is also not responsible for damage or injury that may be caused by breakage, leakage, or obstruction of pipes, electrical systems, or loss of computer programs because of electrical surges, or by other latent building system defects not known to Messiah University. There is no storage available in the satellite houses. Empty boxes may not be stored during the summer. Furniture of any kind, carpet, lumber, tires, flammable liquids, or room furnishings are not allowed to be stored! Due to limited space available, a student should not expect to store more than two to three medium-sized boxes.
Students must ensure that all items are properly secured—and that none of the items in boxes, crates, trunks, etc., can shift and/or fall out of their containers. Items must be packaged as if to be shipped or mailed. Belongings may get moved around somewhat due to changes in the storage areas. Failure to comply with any of the above stipulations may result in disposal and/or removal of items placed in any storage area.
Retrieving Your Items
You may retrieve your items at the beginning of each semester at posted times. Access will not be given during the summer.
NOTE: Items that remain in storage for more than 30 days after permanently leaving on-campus housing or student status (i.e. transfer, graduation, etc.) will be disposed of after the University has once made a reasonable effort to contact the responsible person.
