On Campus
Lost and Found
There is no centralized campus-wide U-M lost and found, but there are lost and found services in various places throughout campus. Many of these locations will turn in valuable items to the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) Lost and Found after a period of time.
At the Law School, found items may be turned in or claimed at the Law Library reference desk on Sub 1 or the reception desk in the Office of Career Planning on the first floor of Jeffries Hall.

Fundamental Tenets of Membership in the University Community
The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (the University) is dedicated to supporting and maintaining a scholarly community. As its central purpose, this community promotes intellectual inquiry through vigorous discourse. Values which undergird this purpose include civility, dignity, diversity, education, equality, equity, freedom, honesty, and safety.
When students choose to accept admission to the University, they accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in the University’s academic and social community. As members of the University community, students are expected to uphold its previously stated values by maintaining a high standard of conduct. Because the University establishes high standards for membership, its standards of conduct, while falling within the limits of the law, may exceed federal, state, or local requirements.
