Mount St. Mary’s University considers the safety of our students to be essential in the creation and maintenance of an environment where learning is encouraged and supported. The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures to guide the university’s response to reports of missing resident students in support of that proposition. Reports of missing commuter students may also be made to the Public Safety Department who can then notify and assist the appropriate law enforcement authority in an investigation of the missing student.

To ensure campus safety, Mount St. Mary's University requires specific driver qualifications to be met for individuals who operate university equipment. As a condition of employment a Driver Questionnaire is to be completed and reviewed by Human Resources, a Motor Vehicle Record check is to be made and the results reported to the fleet management supervisor. New operators must sign a Drivers Agreement, which is to be retained in the driver’s file. MVR checks are to be made on all active drivers periodically to determine the operator’s eligibility to continue to drive a MSMU University vehicle.
