Lost and Found

Campus Security is also responsible for looking after the University's Lost and Found service. Throughout the year numerous items including clothing, jewellery, textbooks, notes, identification, glasses, keys, etc., are turned into the office. All items are kept by Campus Security in a secure location for a period of 90 days and then disposed of according to policy. We tag all items and enter them into our database. If your name, student number, or telephone number is anywhere on the item we will do our best to get in touch with you by phone or email.

In the event you report a lost item to us and we do not have it, we will record your information and advise you via your Trent e-mail address if the item is found. Items often take time before they are delivered to the security office as there are several unofficial collection points ( Library, College Porters).

Lost Keys

Campus Security will require the answers to the following questions for the Security report:
- When was the key lost?
- Please provide a description of the key ring
- Was there anything on the key/ring that would prompt a finder to believe the key is associated with Trent University?
- Were their other university keys lost with it?
- Where was the key lost (ie on or off campus, in Peterborough or out of town, in a department vehicle or other item (ie back pack) identified as Trent University)?
