Student Organization Offices/Lockers/Mailboxes

Harvard College values and supports the presence and contributions of student organizations. The College provides over 40,000 square feet of space in the Student Organization Center at Hilles (SOCH) to facilitate the productive work of Harvard College student organizations and to encourage collaboration among student groups in proximity to one another. The SOCH offers student organization offices, lockers, and mailboxes. An organization desiring office space should follow guidelines outlined in the Student Organizations Handbook. Recognized organizations at the College are eligible to apply for SOCH space through an allocation process held each spring semester. All offices and lockers are allocated by the Office of the Dean of Harvard College with the understanding that:

• Rooms/lockers will be kept neat and clean.

• There will be no unnecessary noise or actions that might disturb other occupants or those in surrounding buildings or in the street, office, or Cambridge neighborhood nearby.

• Organizations will abide by the regulations of the Office of the Dean of Harvard College as described in the Student Organizations Handbook and the SOCH Operations Policies Manual.

• Students with authorized access to individual offices must be registered members of that organization, as well as registered students of Harvard College.

• Student organizations may not allow other groups or individuals to use the rooms/lockers assigned to them without the written permission of the Office of the Dean of Harvard College.

• No office/locker keys may be duplicated without the permission of the Office of the Dean of Harvard College.

• Student organizations will not hold the University responsible for property stored in their offices that is stolen or damaged.

• Personal items belonging to individual students will not be stored in office spaces during summer breaks or any time during the academic year.

• Alcohol is not allowed in the Student Organization Center at Hilles or freshman dormitories, including student organization spaces located in those buildings.

• Private parties may not be held in student organization offices without approval from the Office of the Dean of Harvard College.

• Mailboxes are available in the SOCH by request for recognized organizations. Officers of the group will be expected to pick up mail regularly from their assigned box. An organization that violates the above regulations may lose their assigned office space/locker/ mailbox and/or be subject to disciplinary action by the Administrative Board of Harvard College.
