Investigation of Missing Student Report

Non-Residence Halls: Reports of missing non-residential students should be reported to the Public Safety Office for assistance.

Residence Halls: Mohawk Valley Community College Residence Halls has a policy and procedure in place in the event a Residence Hall student is reported as missing. 

Any person wishing to report a Residence Hall student missing must contact the Public Safety Department. Public Safety personnel will initiate a missing student incident report and immediately report its findings to the appropriate College administrator. The Administrator will contact the appropriate student contact and law enforcement according to guidelines.  A custodial parent or guardian will be the emergency contact for a non-emancipated student under age 18.   In all cases, the Vice President for Student Affairs will serve as the main point of contact and repository of information.

Confidential Contact: Residence Hall students 18 years of age and older identify an emergency contact as part of the Resident Information and Preference Form.  Residence Hall students 18 years of age and older may also register a confidential contact to be notified instead of their primary Emergency Contact to be used in the event they are reported missing.  This person is contacted instead of the primary emergency contact.  A request to identify a confidential contact is made by e-mailing the Residence Life Office at reslife@mvcc.edu.  The email must come from the student's official MVCC Student Email and must clearly state that the information provided  is for the purpose of identifying a Missing Student Confidential Contact.  The email must include the contact's legal name, address, email and telephone number.  The student is responsible for the accuracy of this information.
