STCC Policy - Lost and Found
Lost & Found items are kept at the Main Police Building for up to 90 days. If the item's original owner can be identified, STCC Police will attempt to locate and notify that person of the item.
If you found an item, please turn it into Lost and Found at the Main Campus Police Office Building, or drop it off at the Main Gate.
If you lost an item, please check with Campus Police during regular business hours Monday through Friday. (Unfortunately, there is no access to Lost and Found over the weekend or the holidays. Please call on Monday.)
Additionally, not every found article is turned into STCC Police. Sometimes, faculty in your department might retain the object for you.
