Abandoned Property

Items left behind after a student vacates a space will be considered abandoned property, with some exceptions (trash, food, perishable items, toiletries, etc.). Abandoned property will be collected by Residence Life staff and stored on campus for up to 30 days.

The student will receive an email within 24 hours with information of the property being collected from the space, as well as how the student can retrieve the property. If no communication is received or the property is not retrieved within the timeframe all items will be donated. Exceptions to donations include medications, documents with personal information, etc., such items will be shredded or discarded.

Items that are left behind such as but not limited to: fabrics and bedding that have been “soiled” will be removed from the space and discarded. Students who are returning, Fall semester to Spring semester, and have left items that are ‘soiled’ will be contacted by Residence Life about removal of the item(s).
