Storage is available on a first come,
first served basis only for undergraduate degree candidates or special students
who are actively enrolled at the College. Facilities are limited. All items
placed in a storage facility must be clearly marked with the student's name,
class year, and Hinman box. Anyone storing or removing another student's
belongings without written permission from the owner of the belongings may be
subject to a $100 fine and disciplinary action. Types of storage are listed
below:
Controlled Storage
Students who are not enrolled for classes in Hanover and who will be away
from campus may store personal property in Controlled Storage Areas as space
permits. These rooms are secured and insured against loss due to theft,
fire or damage from moisture. Damage to items improperly packaged or
handled is not eligible for reimbursement. Controlled Storage is open for
drop-off and pick-up for at least three days at the start and end of each term
usually from 9:30 am - Noon and 12:30 - 3:30 pm. For all other times
during a term, Controlled Storage can only be accessed Monday-Friday (unless
otherwise noted), by calling the ORL Business and Operations Office at 646-1203
to make an appointment. All appointments must be made at least one
business day in advance. The cost of storage is $10 per box or storage
unit per term. Students pay for the first term with cash or check at the
time that the items are stored. To pay in advance, or to pay with credit
card or DASH, storage tickets can be purchased in the Residential Life Business
and Operations Office in North Massachusetts Hall. Damage or loss of a
box or storage unit will result in reimbursement on the item's depreciated
value as determined by Dartmouth College. The College will not be liable
for an amount greater than $1,000 for any loss; furthermore, failure to
accurately complete the Controlled Storage Application/Contract may void the
College's liability. The College reserves the right to refuse to store
any box or item.
All boxes and other storage units must be retrieved within three weeks after
a student returns to campus enrolled for classes. There will be a $5 per
unit, per week charge assessed for belongings left beyond the three-week
period; skis and bicycles are the only exception to this expectation and may be
stored while a student is on campus until the end of the term specified on his
or her Controlled Storage Contract. Furthermore, the College will not be
liable for loss or damage to any unit stored longer than the three-week pickup
period for normal belongings or the specified pickup term for bikes and
skis. Students who graduate or withdraw from the College have six months
to retrieve their belongings; after that time all articles will be considered
abandoned property and may be recycled or discarded.
Controlled Storage is located in the following residence halls:
Regular Belongings: Andres, Bildner, Bissell, Channing Cox,
Goldstein, Judge, Little, Maxwell, McCulloch, McLane, Mid Mass, New Hampshire*,
North Fayerweather, Russell Sage, South Mass, and Wheeler

For dates and times of open Controlled Storage areas and other information,
please refer to the "ORL Storage Information" Blitz bulletin or see
the closing Controlled
Storage Schedule.
*Please Note: New Hampshire Hall will be under construction beginning
in December of 2007. If you would like to use New Hampshire Controlled
Storage at the end of the Spring '07 term, you must return to campus and remove
all of your items by Friday, September 28, 2007. Items not removed by the
September 28th deadline will be moved by ORL at the expense of the owner.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Bicycle Storage
On a daily basis, registered bicycles may be kept in racks provided at each
residence. Any unregistered bicycle found in the storage racks may be
impounded, and any bicycle parked or stored in hallways, entryways, access
ramps, stairways, or other accesses may be impounded and placed into Controlled
Storage at the owner's expense and a $100 fire safety fine may be imposed.
Bicycles unclaimed after six months will be discarded. Registered bicycles may
be stored in designated Controlled Storage facilities for a fee of $10 per
bicycle per term. Bicycles may be registered free of charge with the Department
of Safety and Security.
Trunk Rooms
Trunk rooms are located in the basement of each residence hall. Students
assigned to a particular hall may store their belongings in the Trunk Room at
no cost while they are living in that hall. However, these are not secured
areas, and Dartmouth College assumes no responsibility for missing, damaged, or
stolen items. Suitcases, trunks, boxes containing unneeded items and empty
boxes used for specific equipment such as computers, stereos or other
electronic equipment may be stored. No other empty boxes may be
stored. Furniture, refrigerators and rugs may not be stored in the trunk
room. Periodically all abandoned and inappropriately stored items are
removed from trunk and storage rooms and discarded. Students who will be
off-campus for one or more terms must store their belongings either in
Controlled Storage or an off-campus storage facility.
