Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act

The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act) is a consumer protection law that aims to provide transparency around campus crime policy and statistics. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disseminate a public annual security report (ASR) to employees and students every October 1st.

The ASR must include crime statistics for the past three calendar years, details on efforts to enhance campus safety, and policy statements addressing crime reporting, campus facility security and access, law enforcement authority, alcohol and drug use, and the prevention of and response to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking.

The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to:

Report campus crime data;
Support victims of violence; and,
Publicly outline policies and procedures for campus safety.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
