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.

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.
