Bicycle Removal Policy
Residents are not allowed to store their bicycles on campus over the summer months unless they remain living on campus. Everyone shall abide by the following rules.
- All bicycles must be registered through Public Safety.
- During the first two weeks of June each year, the Department of Community Living (DCL) will inventory the bicycles left on campus.
- DCL will work with Public Safety to:
- Identify the registered bicycle’s (or determine if they are not registered)
- Check to see if any of the bicycles are registered to students still on campus
- DCL will submit a Facilities Services Request for any non-registered bicycles or bicycles of members not currently at Brandeis.
- The request shall ask for the bicycles to be removed from their locations to the rack at Village C.
- The Service Request must include the current location of the bicycle, a description (make/mode/color)and registration # (if it has one).
- Based on the Service Request from DCL, Facilities Services Ground Department will cut the bicycle lock (if there was one), move the bicycle to Village C, and place a new lock on the bicycle.
- A tag will be left letting students know to contact Public Safety if it is their bicycle.
- Grounds will keep track of which bicycles moved and share this list with Public Safety and DCL.
- Facilities Services will not be responsible for replacing the lock if the bicycle is later returned.
- Students shall contact Public Safety if they noticed their bike was removed.
- If a student contacts Public Safety, they will check the registration and if it is their bicycle, Public Safety will contact the Grounds Manager to arrange a date/time for all parties to meet.
- At the meeting, Public Safety will properly identify the student and the Grounds Manager will unlock the bicycle for the student.
- The Grounds Manager will update their bicycle log with who/when the bicycle was returned.
- On the last week of July, any remaining bicycle at Village C will be removed by the Grounds Department and placed in the Facilities Services Grounds yard.
- Bicycles will remain in the Facilities Services locked Grounds yard until the second week of September or two weeks after the Fall September classes start.
- Students should contact Public Safety if their Bicycle is missing and suspected to be in the yard.
- Facilities Service will not release any bicycles they locked or in their position without Public Safety’s permission and meeting to identify student.
- After the second week of September (or two weeks after classes start), bicycles remaining at Facilities Services will be donated to a local charity.
- Facilities Services will not be held responsible for any bicycles donated after this date.
