Policies: Missing Students

The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires that institutions with on-campus student housing have a missing student notification policy for students who reside in on-campus housing. Students have the option to designate an emergency contact through the University.

For students who are under age 18, Housing and Residence Life is required to notify law enforcement and a parent or guardian if that student is deemed missing for more than 24 hours. 

We are also required to notify law enforcement and an emergency contact after determining any student is missing for more than 24 hours.
