Unattended Items

Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College is not responsible for the security of personal items left unattended on college property. The College is not responsible or liable for lost or stolen items. Employees, students, and visitors are expected to take reasonable care for the safety and security of their own property.

Unattended backpacks, books, coats, or other items may not be used to reserve rooms, workstations, or other areas. In this time of heightened security, unattended items may be held suspect and may be confiscated by security personnel or other college employees. Items confiscated are subject to search by security, law enforcement, or college personnel for identification and safety purposes.

When items are removed, a notice will be left in the place of the unattended article to advise the owner that it was removed, and will indicate where it can be retrieved.
