Shack Key Policy

Any member of the Stanford community (student, faculty, staff, alumni and their immediate families) in good standing with the club will receive a key to the station and foothills if:

  1. they have attended at least 3 club meetings (not necessarily consecutive),
  2. they are currently paid up on dues, and
  3. they pay a $35 refundable deposit.

Individuals not in the Stanford community but with willingness and ability to contribute to the club and its activities and in good standing with the club may receive keys if:

  1. they have attended at least 6 club meetings (not necessarily consecutive),
  2. they and their sponsor are currently paid up on dues, and
  3. they pay a $100 refundable deposit.

Moreover, if membership lapses because dues are not timely paid, both key and keycard must be returned no later than six months or deposit is claimed to cover costs of reprogramming and new key. Also, for individuals not in the Stanford community, the sponsor of individual must also continue to be a dues paying member, or the individual is subject to the same policy of revocation stated above.

Finally, keys can be recalled at any time for any reason at the discretion of any club executive, the station engineer, or the person currently handling distribution of keys.
