The Jeanne Clery Act requires institutions to release an Annual Security Report on or before October 1st annually. An institution’s Annual Security Report, under the Clery Act, must include statistics on campus crime for the previous three years, along with information about programming to enhance campus safety. Colleges and universities in the United States must include policy statements and crime statistics for oncampus, in oncampus housing, on unobstructed public areas immediately adjacent to the campus, and on noncampus properties owned and/or controlled by the institution in their Annual Security Report.
