Designation of Emergency Contact Information for College Students
- During the School’s registration processes, all students are asked to designate an individual for emergency contact purposes. That designation will remain in effect until changed or revoked by the student.
- Students can updated or change their emergency contact person and/or contact information by contacting the Registrar or by logging into their WebAdvisor Account (wa.juilliard.edu).
- Students under the age of 18 and not emancipated: If a student under the age of 18 (not emancipated) is determined to be missing, the School is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian no more than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. The dean of student development, in consultation with the associate dean of student development, public safety, and/or residence life will determine if a student is to be considered missing, based on the reasonable provision of concerning information and evidence.
- All Students: If a student is determined to be missing, the School will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency no later than 24 hours after the determination has been made by the dean of student development, unless the local law enforcement agency was the entity that made the determination that the student is missing.
- Students contact information will be registered confidentially and will be accessible only to authorized campus officials.
- Students contact information may not be disclosed, except to law enforcement personnel in furtherance of a missing person investigation.
