Lost and found advice

Reporting lost property

You can report a lost item through the University's lost and found system. 

There are other steps you should take in the event of losing or misplacing an item of value:

• Return to the last place you remember having the item on your person. If this was a public space you should enquire about your item at the reception or cloakroom. If this was within your halls of residence, contact the Warden.
• There are also several buildings across St Andrews that you should visit. These include the Student Union, the Main Library and the ASC.
• If your item has yet to be located, contact Police Scotland Fife Division. Be prepared to give a detailed description of the item and provide a photograph if possible.
• If you are on Facebook there are a number of pages that you could consult, including St Andrews Lost & Found.

Students are also advised to register their belongings on the UK National Property Register and BikeRegister.
