If you’ve lost something on campus and want to retrieve it, here’s what to do:
-
📞 Call the Safety & Security office at 902-585-1103
-
📧 Email with a description of the item and where you think you lost it
-
🏢 Visit the office in Room 519 of the Students’ Union Building to check in person
-
🕒 The office is open 24/7, so you can inquire or pick up items anytime
If your item has been turned in, staff will verify your identity and arrange for pickup. For valuable items (like wallets, electronics, or ID cards), you may be asked to provide proof of ownership or a detailed description.
Tip: If you’ve lost your student ID card, report it immediately to prevent misuse — replacements are available through the same office.
