The College will request of all new students each year that they provide, on a voluntary basis, contact information in the event that the student would be reported officially missing during his or her tenure at the College.
If a Westminster College residential student is suspected missing from the campus, immediately contact a member of the Residence Life Staff within that student’s residence hall. If the student resides off campus, contact the Public Safety Department at 724-946-7777.
All reports of missing persons made to Residence Life and/or Public Safety Department staff are followed up with an on-going investigation. If it is determined by the Public Safety Department that a student for whom a missing person report has been filed has been missing for more than 24 hours, then within the next 24 hours the College will:
Notify the individual identified by the student as the missing person contact to be contacted in this circumstance; If the student is under 18 years old, the College will notify a parent or guardian; and in cases where the student is over 18 and has not identified a person to be contacted, the College will notify appropriate law enforcement officials.
