Lockers and Keys

• Lockers are located in the Music Building, Music Practice Building, and the Billman Music Pavilion.
• Lockers are University property rented to students for $25.00/academic year (non-refundable), while in the College of Music. A Locker Key contract is required to rent a locker.
• These lockers are for student convenience and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. However, music majors receive first preference over non-music majors.
• Lockers are assigned based on main instrument size and availability.
• Any falsified information will result in the loss of locker.
• Lockers are available the week before classes begin for music majors. Non-Music majors may request a locker after the 2nd week of classes.
• A key is issued for the locker. During the academic year, if your key is lost or stolen, there will be a $25.00 key replacement fee. If the lock needs to be changed, there will be a $100 core replacement fee billed to your student account.
• All keys must be returned to the College of Music by the end of Spring Semester of each year. Fees may be assessed and an enrollment hold placed on your account if the key/keys are not returned in a timely manner.
• Students enrolled in on-campus summer classes are eligible to rent a locker during the summer. Summer locker rental is $25.
• Contents left in lockers after the last day of finals will be removed and held for 30 days. Items not claimed after 30 days will be sent to MSU Surplus.
• The College of Music reserves the right to have access to all lockers and storage facilities on the premises.
• Locker rental and fee policies may change at any time, without prior notification to current users.

Faculty/Staff

• Faculty and staff will be issued up to two keys for their office/studio. If a key is lost and results in a lock change, that faculty member will be responsible for the expense of changing the lock and production of any replacement keys.
• Any faculty member wishing their students to have a key to their studio must submit the name of the student(s) and start date/end date the student(s) should have access to the key. Approved students would be able to sign out the studio key from the Main Office, to be returned prior to the end of the next business day.
• Faculty may be issued classroom keys only to those rooms in which they are scheduled to teach that particular semester, or a sequence code to access a key lockbox for those classrooms. Keys must be returned to the main office at the end of each semester.
• Cook Recital Hall is now accessed by key card. Refer to the key card policy for details.

Students

• A $25 non-refundable fee is required before a locker key or a practice room key is issued. If students check out both a locker key and a practice room key, only one fee will be charged.
• Students are to turn in practice room keys at the end of each semester and locker keys at the end of each academic year (or last semester at MSU).
• If a classroom, office, locker, practice room, or any other type of key has not been returned by the due date, the student to whom the key was issued will be notified and a lock change will be ordered for that space.
• For all overdue keys that result in a lock change, the student to whom the key was issued will be charged an additional fee ($100) to cover the core change and any production of replacement keys.
• Graduate assistants may be issued a key to their office and a key to the room(s) in which they teach and are not required to leave a deposit. Office keys must be returned at the end of finals week of each spring semester and classroom keys at the end of finals week of each semester.
