HOW TO REQUEST A LOCKER IN THE SUB:

The club lockers in the SUB are available for requesting during the summer semester!

Starting in May, you can request the club lockers through the Club Portal. Executives with fund/facilities authority can request using the “Renew/Request Locker” link under the “Club Management Tools & Forms” section.

The available lockers will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, but it is not guaranteed that you will get one due to limited supply. Groups that are allocated alternate storage space by other departments on campus are not eligible for a SUB locker. (E.g. groups that have common rooms, other lockers, or storage).

Please note that “club lockers” refer to the lockers located in the Student Union Building (SUB) on Level 1000 and 2000. They are different from the lockers that are rented through SFU Recreation.

Any group that is assigned a locker must adhere to the SFSS Student Union Building Locker Guidelines.

1. Complete the cheque requisition form (for pick up). See instructions on how to fill out the Cheque Requisition Form here.
   
2. If the reimbursement is being funded by a grant, the Event & Project Summary Form must be completed as well. Reimbursements from Resource Funding, Petty Cash, or the club Trust Account, do not require this form.
   
3. Attach all relevant receipts:
   1. They must be itemized and original (no photocopies or photographs, and must list items purchased – not just the debit/credit receipt); they must also show that payment was made.
      
   2. Purchases made in other currencies must be accompanied by the payment amount in Canadian dollars (shown either on a bank statement, or calculated by using the exchange rate at the time of the purchase).
      
   3. Make sure all receipts, invoices, and supporting documentation are securely attached to the Cheque Requisition Form. Any missing or incomplete information will result in delays in processing.
      
4. Prize & Gift Card Receipt Form: Reimbursement requests for gift cards must be accompanied by the completed Prize & Gift Card Receipt Form for each recipient of a gift card and/or prize.
   
5. Honorarium Form: Reimbursement requests for honorariums must be accompanied by the completed Honorarium Form for each recipient of an honorarium.
   
6. Submit your reimbursement papers at the SFSS Student Centre (SUB 3115) during office hours (Monday-Friday from 10:00am-4:00pm), or in the blue drop-box at the SUB front desk after hours.
