Missing Person Notification


The College will ask all new students to voluntarily provide emergency contact information in case they are officially reported missing during their time at the College. The emergency contact may, but does not have to be, a parent or guardian.

If a Westminster College residential student is suspected to be missing from campus, immediately notify a member of the Residence Life Staff in that student’s residence hall. For students residing off-campus, contact the Public Safety Department at 724-946-7777.

All reports of missing persons made to Residence Life or the Public Safety Department will be thoroughly investigated. If the investigation indicates that the student has been missing for more than 24 hours, the College will notify the emergency contact within the next 24 hours. If the student is under 18 years old, the College will notify a parent or guardian as well as the emergency contact. If no emergency contact is provided or cannot be reached, the College will inform local law enforcement.
