whether the student has been attending classes, scheduled organizational or academic meetings, and work. If the student is an on-campus resident, the Department of Public Safety officers may make a welfare entry into the student’s room. If the student resides off-campus, the Department of Public Safety may enlist the aid of the neighboring police agency having jurisdiction. Students are given the opportunity through the university’s online portal to designate an individual to be contacted by the university if the student is determined to be missing or otherwise in the case of an emergency. The designation will remain in effect until changed or revoked by the student. The contact information will be confidential and will be accessible only to authorized university officials or law enforcement personnel. Students can designate a missing contact person by logging into the MySanDiego portal and clicking on “Help Requests” then “Safety Check.” As a reminder, this contact information will be registered confidentially and will only be accessed by authorized campus officials and law enforcement and may not be disclosed outside of a missing person investigation. For residential students and for students who live off-campus, notices will be made to each of the following individuals within 24 hours of a determination by either the Department of Public Safety or a local law enforcement agency that the student is missing: • The student’s parents or guardians. The university is required by law to notify the student’s custodial parent or guardian if the student is under age 18 and is not emancipated at the time he or she is determined to be missing. If the student is age 18 or over, notification may be provided to the student’s parent or guardian, in addition to any other person identified as the student’s designated emergency contact. • • Local law enforcement personnel. The student’s designated emergency contact (if any). After the student has been located, the Department of Public Safety will attempt to verify the student’s state of health, wellbeing, and intention of returning to campus. When and where appropriate, a referral may be made to the Counseling Center, the Student Health Center, and/or a community provider.
