Summer Storage

Thanks to a partnership between Residential Life & Dining (RLD) and
DormCon, the following storage plans have been developed for the summer of
2016.

*STORAGE IN RESIDENCE HALLS*

   - Residence halls that currently have storage areas designated by RLD
   will still store student belongings in accordance with existing house
   policy, as long as residents can provide proof of insurance.

This includes all residence halls except Baker House, Maseeh Hall, and Next
House, which do not have designated student storage space.

*Policies for in-house storage were developed by the house government.
Please see your house manager or house storage chair for policies regarding
storage in your residence hall.*

   - Residence halls without storage may use the recommended vendor below
   or find their own options.


*INSURANCE FOR ON-CAMPUS STORAGE*
Residents storing belongings on campus must provide proof of insurance to
the Housing Office before their belongings can be stored.

   - Residents should check with their parent/guardian to determine if
   their current renter/homeowner insurance policy will cover items stored on
   campus.
   - For students who would like to purchase renters' insurance, MIT's
   Office of Insurance has recommended College Student Insurance. For $76
   annually the policy covers:
      - $3,000 coverage limit with $50 deductible
      - worldwide coverage, including student belongings in their dorm,
      while studying abroad, or other items in storage


Please visit their website <http://www.collegestudentinsurance.com/> for
more information.

To submit proof of insurance, please email the document to residence at mit.edu
. *Proof of insurance should be submitted to the Housing Office no later
than Monday, May 16, 2016.*
