College Policies & Procedures
Communication Methods on Campus
Communication among students, faculty and staff is an extremely important part of teaching, learning and student life on campus. Those who initiate communication may choose from a variety of different methods in order to distribute information in the best formats for particular circumstances. The College recognizes campus email and mailroom mailboxes as official means of communication and expects students and employees to conscientiously access these methods on a regular basis to receive information from members of the campus community and to respond if appropriate. Students and employees are assumed to have received and will be held responsible for information that is disseminated via any of these methods. Faculty and campus offices may also use the My.Westminster Web portal to communicate course related and other types of information to students. In addition to these common formats used campus-wide, certain areas of the campus may identify other methods for communicating specific types of information to students and/or employees.
Every student who is registered for classes at Westminster has a Microsoft Office 365 account with email. Students are expected to check their email daily, at a minimum, while classes are in session.
Mailroom
Each student, faculty member and office staff member has a mailbox at which they can receive printed campus mail and U.S. Postal Service mail. These mailboxes are in McKelvey Campus Center. Mailroom mailboxes should be checked regularly because they are the means through which printed information is distributed to individuals and the entire campus.
