CHAPTER 14 – LOCKERS AND CARRELS
LOCKED FILE DRAWERS
There are file cabinet drawers with locks available for students in rooms 383, 384, 385, 321,
342 and 372. New students may apply in the Ph.D. Office for a drawer assignment and key.
A $5 refundable deposit fee will be charged at the time the key is issued. Students must
vacate their drawer and turn in their key when they graduate or leave the Program. The
deposit will be returned when the key is turned in. Students with carrels may be asked to give
up their locked file drawer if there are not enough locked file drawers for those students
without carrel space.
PH.D. STUDENT OFFICE SPACE (CARRELS)
Use of the Ph.D. Student Office Space (Rooms 384, 385, 372, 342, and 321) is a privilege.
Students must follow the rules to maintain this privilege. Violation of the rules will result in
a loss of this privilege, as well as other consequences, depending on the severity of the
violation. Excessive violations may result in closing the space to all students until the
problems are remedied.
The Ph.D. Student Office Space is self-managed. This means that Ph.D. students maintain
the “surfaces” of the room and keep it clean. The janitorial staff empties the garbage and
periodically vacuums the rug.
• Doors to these rooms cannot be propped open. This rule protects students and their
possessions.
• Personal property should not be left unattended and unlocked. Please use the
locking drawers/bin of your carrel. Any area is only as safe as the users make it.
The Ph.D. Program is not responsible for any loss of personal property.
• Cell phone usage is strongly discouraged.
• No furniture, equipment or office supplies can be moved out of these rooms without
the explicit permission of the Ph.D. Office staff.
• Smoking is absolutely prohibited within the GSB, including these rooms.
• No display of inappropriate materials is allowed in these rooms. Such material will
be removed if it is displayed.
• Assigned carrels are for 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th year students who are in residence (and any
second year students who win them in the lottery, should extra carrels be available).
You must relinquish your carrel if you graduate prior to the end of your 5 th year or if
you leave the Program. If you have not graduated but will no longer be living in
Chicago, you must also relinquish your carrel, regardless of your year. If you are
still in residence in your 6 th year, you will be required to relinquish your carrel.
There are no exceptions to this policy.
• Those students with an assigned carrel may request the key for their carrel. A $5
refundable deposit will be charged at the time the key is issued. When the key is
returned, the deposit will be returned to the student.
