If You Lose Something of Value on Campus

It is a good idea to check with the offices for several days after you lose an item. If you are turning in an item you found, or searching for an item you lost, call or go directly to the offices identified above. To retrieve a lost item, you will need to accurately describe the item(s), and may be asked to provide a picture identification upon claiming the item, and/or sign a property receipt for the claimed item, if instructed. MAC reminds all students to keep track of their book bags, purses, computers, and other personal items at all times. Never leave your belongings unattended or out of eyesight and try not to carry large amounts of cash or valuables. Found property will be held for one term and then donated to a charitable organization.
