Lost and Found

There are several areas on campus that house lost and found items. Many buildings have their own temporary lost and found, which is typically located at a front desk. These locations will bring items to Campus Police at various times. You can check with Campus Police, located in suite 148 of the Student Center, concerning lost items.

When IWU student or staff ID’s are turned in to Campus Police, we will email you advising we have your ID.  ID cards that have been in Campus Police possession for 24 hours after the initial email will be shredded. Keys that are turned in with an IWU key are turned over to Facilities or Residential Learning, who will contact the owner. Clothing and water bottles (drink containers) will be kept for 2 weeks and then donated. Cell phones, jewelry, miscellaneous keys, and other items will be held for one month and then disposed of or donated to a charitable organization.

Abandoned bicycles found on campus that are registered with campus police will be kept for 60 days. The owner will be notified via email to retrieve their bicycle. All non-registered bikes found on campus will be confiscated and stored for 30 days and, if not claimed, donated. All bicycles that have reached the maximum hold date will be donated to a charitable organization.
