If a member of the University Community has reason to believe that a student is missing, whether or not the student resides on campus, all possible efforts are made to locate the student to determine his or her state of health and well-being through the collaboration of the Department of Public Safety the Office of Student Affairs. If the student is an on-campus resident, Public Safety will secure authorization from Student Affairs officials to make a welfare entry into the student's room. If an off-campus student resident, Public Safety will informally enlist the aid of the neighboring police agency having jurisdiction.
