Each residence hall and building complex provides a lost and found service through its Front Desk. If you have found something in the building, please bring it to the nearest desk as soon as possible so its owner can retrieve it. Additionally, the Department of Public Safety tracks lost and found goods.
Your Community Desk may have carts, vacuums, and board games available for your use. Please check with the desk staff if you are in need of any of these items.
As a courtesy, each residence hall's Front Desk offers temporary keycards free of charge to assist with room lockouts. Please return the temporary card promptly to ensure that other students will have access to the keycards and keys if necessary. Additionally, each resident can check-out the spare key to their room.
As a courtesy, they each resident receives one free lock out per quarter. After the first lock out, residents will be charged $20 for each additional lock out. When the Front Desk is closed, contact the RA on duty or the Department of Public Safety.
