  • Be sure to bring a strong lock and chain for the bike racks.
  • Bicycle racks are available around each housing center for easy access, as well as at multiple locations across campus.


Bicycle Lockers:

  • Upon your arrival in August, you may reserve a bike locker by visiting the Housing office in Walker Center, Room 126, to complete the contract, view the locker to make sure your bike will fit and pick up your key. Our office is open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday.
