What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Pennsylvania Western University?

PennWest maintains campus public-safety resources and procedures for reporting emergencies and other concerns. Because its campuses are separate locations, students should save the emergency contacts and alert-enrollment instructions for the campus where they attend.

Prospective students can review the university's annual security reports for campus-specific disclosures, reporting procedures and crime statistics. Those figures cover specified reporting categories and periods; they are not a complete measure of every student's experience. Students should also locate the procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing confidential or supportive services, including options that differ from filing a police report.
