How to Report a Lost Item
Contact Campus Police or the Brower Student Center
Call 609-771-2345 to report the loss to TCNJ Campus Police. For items already turned in, contact the Brower Student Center Lost & Found directly to check if your property is there. Provide a detailed description, your PAWS ID, email, and phone number.
Create a free public report
Publish your report on ReportLost at no cost. Your listing becomes searchable and shareable but is not actively researched by our team. Useful if your item left campus or you want a backup record.
Consider a paid search option
Automatic search ($12) runs web searches for 6 months with a ReportLost certificate and QR stickers. Team-assisted search ($25) adds 12 months of monitoring, manual checks with local services and groups, and wider community outreach. Neither guarantees recovery.
