Drop-and-Go Storage Options

Drop-and-Go Storage

Summer Students - don't want to lug your personal belongings home at the end of Summer Session II? Not to worry - you have the option to use our drop-and-go storage option to store your belongings before the end of summer session! Drop-and-go storage is a service that the University offers for your convenience. To use this service, you acknowledge that you are permitted to drop off your personal items to store, and that this is not a time for you to set up your room.

Check the availability of your fall semester room assignment. Please note that not all residence halls are available due to summer session residency, conferences/camps, maintenance, or project work.

If your residence hall is unavailable, you can contact the Housing Operations Office about storage options available in the area. 

Drop-and-Go Storage Guidelines

  • Drop-and-Go Storage is available ONLY during these times: 
    • Tuesday, Aug. 12 - Friday, Aug. 15: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m
    • Saturday, Aug. 16: 8 a.m. -  noon
  • You will NOT be able to store items after this timeframe, during the evening, or on other days

  • No appointment is required. You may utilize Drop-and-Go more than once if you need to make multiple trips on different days

  • Storing items is "at your own risk." Penn State assumes no liability in providing this service, and recommends that students have proper insurance coverage for all personal property. Only non-valuable items may be stored. Please do not store electronics or valuable items

  • All items must be packed in a container and labeled with your full name, PSU ID, fall room assignment, and your cell phone number. No loose items, please

  • If your room is available, this option is a drop-and-go storage option. You will not be permitted to unpack or set up your room. All items should be placed on the bed/dresser.

  • Cart sign out is available through the East Commons Desk. You will need to return the cart to the East Commons Desk after dropping items to avoid a cart fee

  • If your fall room is not available, Housing will provide you with the ability to store your items in a general storage area provided by your fall Housing area. Be sure to discuss with your fall Housing staff what pick-up times will be offered when you return to campus

    • There will be limited times to retrieve your belongings when you return in the fall semester - staff will be available during daylight hours ONLY

  • If your room assignment is changed after Aug. 1, please be aware that your new room may not be available. Contact the Housing Operations Office to verify status

  • If you will be using a vehicle, please follow the vehicle unloading instructions
