ABANDONED PROPERTY
After students move out of their rooms, University Housing may collect abandoned property that is deemed items of value. University Housing stores items of value for a minimum of 30 days, and a maximum of 60 days. After this time, University Housing will donate the abandoned property to a local nonprofit.
Examples of items that are not deemed as valuable are hangers, cleaning supplies, power strips, mirrors, mattress pads, pillows, and socks which will be discarded and not placed in our abandoned property collections.
University Housing is not responsible for any items that are left behind and discarded, as it is the student’s responsibility to remove all personal belongings upon move out. If you believe you left property on campus after a departure, please contact Safety and Community Care at 330-672-7004.
