Found items should promptly be taken to the Campus Public Safety office where they are tagged and logged with a date and location if known. We then check our master list of reported lost items to try to match an owner with an item. Owners are emailed or called if we can identify a match. For faster retrieval of your lost items, please write your name on your belongings.

Come in to the security office to report your lost items as soon as you lose them, and please pick them up quickly when you’re notified that they have been found because we have limited storage space. We donate unclaimed items every 4 to 6 weeks to charitable causes.
