Missing Student Notification

In accordance with the Higher Education Reauthorization Act of 2008, all students are asked to supply an emergency contact person on their application for admission that will be notified should the student be missing for 24-hours. If the missing student is under the age of 18, his/her parent(s) or guardian will be notified. In addition, the appropriate law enforcement agency will be notified when a student is determined missing for more than 24-hours. If a member of the SAU Tech community has reason to believe that a student or employee is missing, they must immediately contact SAU Tech Campus Police. SAU Tech Campus Police will inform the local law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction in the area within 24-hours that the student is missing. This does not preclude College officials from making a determination that a student is missing before the student has been missing for a full 24- hours or initiating procedures as soon as it determines that the student is missing.

Students are encouraged to share pertinent information with family and friends when leaving campus or taking trips. Sharing this information will enable College staff, as well as family and friends, to contact the student if the need arises. In addition, students are encouraged to periodically update emergency contact information.
