In the event it is determined that an on-campus Kalamazoo College student is thought to be missing, the following procedures will be in effect.

Kalamazoo College will inform each student residing in on-campus housing they have the option to identify an individual to be contacted by the institution within 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. Kalamazoo College
students will be allowed as an option to register confidential contact information in the event he or she is thought to be missing. Kalamazoo College students residing in on-campus housing who are 18 years of age or older have the option of registering a confidential contact person by completing the “Missing Person Contact Information” below and return to their RA or the Student Development Office.

Unless an individual is identified by the students as indicated above, custodial parent(s) or guardian(s) will be the usual point of contact for any missing student.

If the student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, Kalamazoo College is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian.

Campus Safety and Residential Life will make every attempt to determine if the student is actually missing or can be accounted for. Once it is determined that the student cannot be accounted for within the 24 hour time period, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety will be notified and a missing person report will be filed with that agency. Campus officials shall notify the person identified by the student on the confidential contact information. If the student is under 18 years of age, Kalamazoo College will notify a custodial parent or guardian.
