Confiscation Policy
Items that are prohibited on campus will be confiscated by Keuka College staff.
Select confiscated items may be returned to students at the discretion of the Coordinator of Student Conduct & Community Standards and will be returned only at the end of the semester or at the immediate onset of a designated break period. Students may collect confiscated items by signing a release form at the campus safety office.
Confiscated items that cannot be returned or are not claimed by the end of the academic year in which they were confiscated will be disposed of.
Illegal items or items that pose severe potential harm (items such as controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, hazardous chemicals or materials, and weapons) will be confiscated and will not be returned to students. Alcohol that is possessed or is being consumed outside of Keuka College standards and regulations will be confiscated or disposed of immediately under staff supervision.
If an item is confiscated from a student’s room and the student is not present, an evidence log receipt will be left by staff to notify the student. If an item is confiscated from a common area, students living near the common area will be notified by email. Inquiries to confiscated items can be made through the campus safety office.
