![]() ![]() If you are concerned that a fellow student might be missing or otherwise in danger, you should immediately notify the MIT Police. MIT reserves the right to notify additional individuals or authorities in its discretion – including the parents or guardians of students over 18 years of age – if a student is determined to be missing. MIT is also required to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency (or agencies) if any student, regardless of age, is determined to be missing. In addition to notifying the emergency contact(s) identified by a student, MIT must also notify a custodial parent or guardian of a student who is under 18 years of age and is not an emancipated individual if such student is determined to be missing. Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, Missing Person Emergency Contact information will be kept confidential, will be accessible only to authorized campus officials, and will not be disclosed to non-campus officials other than law enforcement personnel in furtherance of a missing person investigation. For example, an emergency contact can answer questions and contact other people for you, but unless there is some legal. Students who have not already provided Missing Person Emergency Contact information – including those students who live off campus – are strongly encouraged to do so as soon as possible. An emergency contact is the first person medical personnel will get in touch with in an emergency, but your emergency contact may not have the legal authority to act on your behalf unless you explicitly provide that power. Students can identify an individual to be notified by providing Missing Person Emergency Contact information to the Registrar’s Office through WebSIS, which is available online at. In accordance with this policy, each student who resides in on-campus housing has the option to identify an individual to be contacted by MIT after such student is determined to be missing in accordance with procedures that have been established by the office of the Dean for Student Life in consultation with the MIT Police. MIT has adopted this missing student notification policy for students who reside in on-campus housing, including approved FSILG housing. Please also notify your Head of House or the Dean on Call, who will work with the Police to notify the missing person’s family when appropriate.
