Lost & Found
Sorry to hear that you have lost your item at the Commons or Hunton Student Center! Hopefully we can help you find your item.
If you believe you've lost an item in our building, please describe and report it using this form. Commons staff will reach out accordingly. Thank you for your understanding!
Items found at Larrick Student Center are turned into the Rec Well front desk.
The Code of Virginia § 23.1-104 (Disposition of lost or abandoned property) requires that most items accepted into the university’s lost and found be kept for a minimum of 120 (4 months) days if not claimed unless otherwise specified below. After 120 days (4 months) have elapsed, the items go to VCU’s Surplus Property Department.
Any items turned into our staff are carefully logged and stored in a secure location.
Submit a report with the link above and a staff member will go through all reported items to try and find it based on the description. If a match is found, the Commons team will reach out to set up a pick up time. If there is no match, we will reach out to further discuss the claim.
