Missing Student Policy

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (“HEOA”) requires Colleges with housing to establish a policy and procedures regarding the reporting, investigation, and required emergency notification when a Residential Student is deemed to be missing. The College is respectful of student’s privacy when trying to determine how to address each case, but every report must be taken seriously. If a student is reported to be missing, whether it is extensive absences from class or failure to show up for commitments (athletic teams, clubs and organizations etc.), there is a reason to be concerned for the student’s wellbeing. Please refer to the Manhattanville College Policies webpage for the full policy.
