The Associate Dean of Student Services/Registrar or designee shall contact the Sheldon Law Enforcement Center to file a missing person’s report no later than 24 hours after the time the student is determined missing. At residence life orientation, students have the option of identifying a contact person or persons whom the institution shall notify within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing if the student has been determined missing by the institutional police or campus security department, or the local law enforcement agency. Students will be advised that if they are under 18 years of age and not emancipated, the institution must notify a custodial parent or guardian within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing, in addition to notifying any additional contact person designated by the student; and that the institution will notify the local law enforcement agency within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing, unless the local law enforcement agency was the entity that made the determination that the student is missing.
