Safety tip: Campus safety and 'Clery geography'

The Clery Act is a consumer-protection law that aims to provide transparency around campus crime policies and statistics. Colleges and universities that receive federal funding are required to report Clery crimes, occurring on Clery geography.

What is Clery geography?

On-campus: Buildings or property owned or controlled by the institution used to support its educational purpose

On-campus student housing: Student housing facility that is owned or controlled by the institution, or is located on property that is owned or controlled by the institution, and is within the reasonably contiguous geographic area that makes up the campus

Public property: All public property — including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks and parking facilities — that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus

Noncampus property: Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not reasonably contiguous to the core campus
