Missing Student Notification
Residence Hall Facilities Policy and Procedure
The following persons will be available to receive reports of student residents missing for 24 hours.
- Resident Assistants and Campus Security
- Residence Student Life Staff
- Vice President of Student Affairs
- Vice President of Academic Affairs
Each resident, 18 years or older, may register a confidential contact person to be notified if the student is determined to be missing. A parent or guardian will not automatically be notified unless the missing student is under 18 and not emancipated.
An official missing student report will be referred immediately to campus security and local law enforcement when a person is reported missing for 24 hours, and the institution cannot learn any information to the contrary. Students must communicate with their roommates or confidential contact person if they plan to be gone for an extended period.
These procedures are a Federal mandate.
Contact the office of the Vice President of Student Affairs (785.460.5490) or the Vice President of Academic Affairs (785.460-5403) for additional information.
