Earlier this year Flinders University announced the removal of bag storage facilities during exams claiming the provision of the service created unmanageable Occupational Health & Safety issues to security staff.
Despite the cancellation of these facilities we are still not permitted to take bags and mobile phones into exams, and have been told to leave them at home.
However this is not a realistic option for many of us who have other commitments on exam days, catch public transport, or do not feel comfortable leaving valuables in our cars.
We are calling on Flinders University to reverse this unfair decision and reinstate this important student service for everyone who requires it!
The administration continues to ignore our concerns while students struggle to find safe places for their belongings. Email the Dean of Students today to demand they address this inequity immediately. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook page so more students can join our push for a real solution.

The momentum behind this campaign is picking up and the university is starting to take notice. Post the petition link to your Facebook page and text three friends who take public transport to keep the pressure on administration.

Already had my car broken into on campus once. Not risking my laptop and keys again just to sit a math test. Bring back the storage.

OH&S is just an excuse. Sort it out.

This is ridiculous. I commute from the city and have no way to just leave my bag at home. Where am I supposed to put my phone and wallet during a 3 hour exam?

Please fix this. I have a 2 hour commute and this is beyond stressful.

Ridiculous decision. Flinders just wants to save a few bucks on staff while making life harder for everyone else.

Absolute joke. How are we supposed to get to work or catch the bus after if we have nowhere to keep our stuff?
