Lockers
Any student, staff, or faculty member can rent a locker at each Red Deer Polytechnic campus. To rent a locker, we just require photo ID. Lockers are $30.00, and when you return your lock (no later than June 30th), you will receive a $10.00 lock refund.
*While the lockers are monitored, we recommend that you do not leave any valuables behind.
Off-Campus Housing
Many students choose to live off-campus during their studies, which is why the Students’ Association operates a directory for students to find alternate options within Red Deer and surrounding areas. Browse the listings below to find suitable accommodation during your time at Red Deer Polytechnic.
