Lost property

If you have lost something and it isn't where you left it, someone may have handed it in to Lost Property.

Report lost property

Report your missing item to Security by email or phone as soon as you can, and include:

• your name

Perishables such as food are thrown away, as are:

All other items are kept for at least 2 months, including:

Keys

Students can report lost keys and hand in found keys to Security. Staff can report lost, found and old or obsolete keys to their Department Key Custodian or Security. 

Provide Security with details of lost and found keys, including when and where the key was last seen.

ID cards

Found ID cards should be turned in to Security as lost property. You should report a lost access card to Security as soon as you notice it's gone so the card access can be disabled.
