Official Notification Procedures for Missing Residential Students

Any individual on campus who has information that a residential student may be missing is to notify the Campus Police immediately.

The Campus Police will gather all essential information about the residential student from the reporting person and from the student’s acquaintances (physical description, clothes last worn, where student might be, who the student might be with, vehicle description, information about the physical and mental wellbeing of the student, an up-to-date photograph, class schedule, etc.). Appropriate campus staff will be notified to aid in the search for the student. The Central Texas College District Administration shall be notified immediately after the report is received.

If the above actions are unsuccessful in locating the residential student or it is immediately apparent that the student is actually missing (e.g., witnessed abduction, signs of foul play), the Campus Police will initiate a missing person report and take charge of the investigation.

The Campus Police or the Director of Student Life Activities will notify the emergency contact person (for students 18 and over) or the custodial parent/guardian (for students under the age of 18) that the student is believed to be missing.
