Missing Student Policy

If a member of the MCCN community knows of an MCCN student has missed three consecutive days of classes without any known reason or response, they should immediately contact the Director of Compliance and Community Affairs, who will then make contact with the following administrators as necessary:

1. Director, Compliance and Community Affairs, 614-234-2341

2. College President, 614-234-5950

3. Dean of Nursing and Allied Health, 614-234-1777

4. Registrar, 614-234-5204

5. Safety and Security, 614-896-1489 

The Director of Compliance and Community Affairs, in conjunction with Safety & Security, will immediately notify other appropriate law enforcement agencies, in cooperation with Safety & Security, upon receipt of a missing student report. If the Law Enforcement agency makes an official determination that a student is missing, emergency contact procedures will be initiated within 24-hours in accordance with the student’s designation. In addition, College administrators or their designees will be notified to include the Registrar, Director of Compliance and Community Affairs, and the Marketing and Communications Specialist.

Student Emergency Contact Information

Each student may register contact information to be notified in the event the student is determined to be missing. Student contact information will be registered confidentially, will be accessible only to authorized College officials and may not be disclosed except to law enforcement personnel in furtherance of a missing person investigation. 

If a missing student is under 18 years of age and is not emancipated, MCCN is required to notify their custodial parent or guardian within 24-hours after the student is determined to be missing, in addition to notifying any additional contact person designated by the student.
