Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services

Welcome to the University of California's central resource page for Clery Act compliance, education, and reporting. This site provides access to guidance, tools, and training to support all UC community members, including students, employees, administrators, and Campus Security Authorities (CSAs), in understanding and fulfilling their responsibilities under the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, commonly known as the Clery Act.

About the Clery Act

• Issue timely warnings and emergency notifications
• Develop and disclose emergency response and evacuation procedures
• Conduct and publicize an emergency response and evacuation procedure test annually
• Publish an Annual Fire Safety Report (AFSR), if applicable
• Maintain a fire log, if applicable
• Have missing student notification procedures, if applicable
• Provide rights and options to victims of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Develop and implement prevention and awareness programming that addresses dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Develop and implement disciplinary proceedings for reported acts of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Develop and implement hazing prevention programming
• Prominently post a Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR)
• Disclose crime and fire statistics to the U.S. Department of Education, if applicable
• Protect privacy and prohibit retaliation

This webpage is regularly updated with links to campus Clery compliance webpages, campus annual security and fire safety reports, guidance documents, and reporting tools to support UC’s commitment to campus safety and Clery Act compliance.

If you’re unsure whether you're a CSA or have questions about Clery reporting responsibilities, please contact your local Clery Officer.

Systemwide Resources

Being a CSA and reporting Clery crimes is just one of the ways the university has taken formal steps to disclose, and address prohibited and criminal conduct within the university community. Depending on your role, you may have additional reporting and training obligations; in such cases, you will be contacted by the designated office at your location.
