Lost and Found 

The Washington University Lost and Found is located in the Campus Police Department, first floor Lien Residence Hall.  All buildings and offices are encouraged to forward any "found" items to the Lost and Found in order to maintain a central location for persons seeking lost property. A database of items reported missing will be kept and cross-checked with items turned in. The identified owners will be notified promptly and arrangements will be made to return the property. Any unidentifiable or unclaimed property will be held for 45 days and then disposed of. Items may be sent to Campus Box 1038. 

Facilities Access

Washington University comprises many buildings and several off-campus locations, that serve varied functions and satisfy the diverse needs of its students, faculty, and staff.  The University's Safety & Security Committee conducts a semiannual review of the campus to make recommendations on lighting, emergency phones, landscaping, signage and other safety issues and prepares an annual report, or on request, special reports to the Administration.

Facilities are readily accessible to students, faculty, and staff during normal working hours. Access to most facilities is limited after normal working hours and on weekends. Employees, students, student organizations, and other individuals affiliated with Washington University may request permission to use portions of the facilities for nonacademic events in the manner provided for in Bearings, the student handbook, the employee manual, or by contacting the Office of Event Services at 935-5234. 

The Washington University residence halls are locked 24 hours a day. Access is controlled by electronic card readers.
