Lost Property
The University accepts no responsibility for the security of user’s personal belongings. Please take care of your belongings and label portable devices with your full name, student reference number or username.
Any lost property found can be handed into the Building Porters.
Lost property will then be logged on our Lost Property database. We will attempt to identify the owner of any lost property and, where possible, we will contact them to let them know the item has been found.
Items will be returned in the condition they were received.
If you are searching for an item of lost property, contact the Building Porters with a detailed description of the item as well as the date it was lost.
