Clery Act Fundamentals
Clery Act Fundamentals provides a foundational overview of the basic requirements of the Clery Act, drawing from the statute, regulations, and current Department of Education guidance. We will:
- Review the building blocks of Clery crime statistics:
- identifying campus security authorities
- naming and defining Clery geography categories
- defining and counting Clery Act crimes
- Break down the distinctions between timely warnings and emergency notification
- Explore the prevention, response, and disciplinary procedures requirements for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, including their intersections with Title IX
- Review the components of an annual security report and how they tie in to the requirements overall
This training provides an in-depth introduction to the Clery Act and is an ideal primer for our more advanced, application-based trainings such as Virtual, In-person, or Self-Paced CATS.
Anyone can attend and benefit from Clery Act Fundamentals, whether just beginning Clery Act work or brushing up on knowledge as an experienced practitioner.

Annual Security Report Workshop
This workshop will provide information and tools to use to analyze the institution’s annual security report (ASR) and its compliance with Clery Act requirements. We will address commonly misunderstood policy statement areas and guide attendees through engaging campus partners in crafting accurate policy and procedure descriptions for their respective areas. First, participants will review the required components of an ASR including elements necessary if an institution has on-campus student housing. Then participants will workshop ASRs through using Clery Center’s ASR checklist to evaluate if their policy statements contain all of the required elements. Clery Center instructors will facilitate small and large group discussion to identify strategies for making needed changes.

Campus Security Authority Workshop
Despite the 2020 rescission and replacement of the Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting, campus security authorities (CSAs) still exist and play a pivotal role on campus. Use this workshop to refresh participants’ understanding of who CSAs are and what their responsibilities entail as well as to strategize how to apply the broader guidance within the Clery Act Appendix to identifying roles as CSAs. Through discussing various challenges ranging from receiving delayed reports, to ensuring CSAs know how and what information to report, to conducting engaging trainings, participants will learn how to enhance CSA identification and training skills.

Policy Synergy: Title IX & the Clery Act
Learn how to create policies and procedures that empower survivors of dating or domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking with clear knowledge of their rights and options and fully capture the requirements of both the Clery Act and Title IX. We will explain the relationship between annual security report policy statements and the underlying institutional policies that should support response and disciplinary procedures for these crimes, as well as how to create policies that are streamlined and approachable for students and employees.
Attend this training if you are:
- Directly or adjacently involved in the creation or implementation of policy addressing dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

Stop Campus Hazing Act Training Series
With the passage of the Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) comes not only excitement for increased education and accountability for acts of hazing but also eagerness for understanding the requirements in order to accurately put them into practice. Join us for a three-part training series, in which we will review the law’s three main components and explore practices for applying them. In this collaborative series from Clery Center and StopHazing, participants will learn about:
- How to define and report hazing in campus crime statistics;
- Policy and procedure creation and inclusion in the annual security report (ASR);
- Prevention requirements and effective prevention programming strategies; and
- The development of a Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
Series Sessions:
- Session 1: Hazing as a Clery Act Crime Statistic
- Session 2: Hazing Prevention Programming Requirements
- Session 3: Campus Hazing Transparency Report
You can register for individual sessions or all three sessions as a bundle.

Session 1: Hazing as a Clery Act Crime Statistic
Length: 3 hours
The first session of our three-part series will focus on the definition of hazing that will be applied to classify incidents as Clery Act crime statistics. We will review case studies and provide recommendations for behaviors to assess and standards for making classification determinations. This session will also review the hazing policy requirements, how to represent this information in the ASR, and how to best train campus security authorities on documenting and reporting these incidents.
Next Session: February 26, 2025
Session 2: Hazing Prevention Programming Requirements
Length: 2 hours
This second session will review the prevention programming requirements of the SCHA and promising, evidence-based practices campuses can employ in order to meet this requirement. Additionally, we will review how to most effectively capture these practices in the ASR policy statement to ensure that underlying policy and current practices align.
Next Session: March 5, 2025
Session 3: Campus Hazing Transparency Report
Length: 1.5 hours
This third and final installment will focus on the transparency report that campuses are required to publish twice a year to share information about all student organizations found responsible for hazing and the resulting sanctions. This session will describe and address how this report is distinct and separate from the ASR and provide suggestions for communicating the intentions of each report to the campus community.
Next Session: March 12, 2025
