Policy
If any member of the University community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, they should immediately notify the Dean of Students, Residence Life or University Police.
If, upon investigation it is determined the student has been missing for more than 24 hours, the Dean of Students will:
- contact the student’s identified emergency contact no later than 24 hours after the student was determined missing;
- if the student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, immediately contact the custodial parent or legal guardian of such student no later than 24 hours after the student was determined missing (in addition to any contact person designated by the student);
- notify UWGB Public Safety, or appropriate law enforcement agency, as soon as possible that the student is determined to be missing (if the law enforcement agency did not make the determination that the student is missing).
Students have the option to register a confidential contact person to be notified in the case that the student is determined to be missing and that only authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers in furtherance of a missing person investigation may have access to this information.
