Personal Belongings

UCL does not accept liability for any loss of students' personal property, however incurred, on any College property (including halls of residence and student houses), in any examination hall or on UCL business. If you wish to insure your personal property against loss or damage, you should make your own arrangements to do so. It may be possible to extend house contents insurance to cover personal property, including bicycles.

Cases, coats and all other property left about the premises may be impounded by UCL staff. You may retrieve any impounded articles only after the attendant is satisfied that you are entitled to do so. UCL accepts no responsibility for any damage to, or loss or destruction of, any impounded articles.

All enquiries with regard to lost or found property should be made to the Customer Services Centre, 26 Gordon Square. See web site http://www.ucl.ac.uk/efd/maintenance/customer-services/

Found property not claimed within two months is disposed of to local charity organisations.

You should note that petty thieving is prevalent, particularly in libraries, and that police authorities have asked UCL to advise students not to leave personal property unattended, particularly handbags and jackets.

No UCL equipment or other property may be removed from the premises without the formal written approval of your Department.

UCL reserves the right to search any vehicle or item of baggage on entry or exit from UCL premises.
