Lost and Found
The Memorial Union Information Desk
The Information Desk acts as the central information center and manages the campus-wide lost and found program for Arizona State University Tempe Campus. By phone or in person, the Information Desk staff can answer a wide range of questions about ASU and the surrounding community. If they cannot answer your question, they’ll assist in finding the answer for you.
Items that are believed to have been lost by an owner at the Tempe campus may be returned to the Memorial Union Information Desk.
To inquire about a lost item that may have been turned in:
-
Check the Memorial Union Lost & Found Inventory
-
If your item isn’t listed, please file a claim.
Lost items are kept in the Student Union for a maximum of 30 days. Guests are not permitted to search the physical Lost and Found inventory in the Student Union. Individuals must fill out the claim form through PixIt and provide an adequate description of the item before the item will be shown to a claimant.
Individuals claiming an item must fill out the form associated with their item on the database. This can be done by clicking “details” under the image of the item and answering the questions. A Student Union staff member will either message you with a “match,” ask for additional information, or reject your claim if sufficient information isn’t given. Once notified, you will have 48 hours to make arrangements to claim your lost item.
Please allow a minimum of 1-2 business days (Monday-Friday) for a confirmation or rejection of a match. Once a “match” has been made, claimants may pick up their items at the Information Desk at the Student Union. Claimants must come in person to claim their own items and provide a photo identification that matches the information filled out on the claim form. Contact information will be logged before the item(s) will be released.
If turned in to the Student Union, the following items will be surrendered to the Arizona State University Police Department (ASUPD) immediately:
- Any item presumed to be stolen
