Clery Act Essentials for Student Affairs Professionals demystifies the aspects of the law that apply to student affairs roles like student conduct, housing, or prevention professionals, no matter your level of experience or responsibility. We will explain each component of the law’s requirements and tie them directly to the day-to-day responsibilities of student affairs practitioners. Course attendees will understand the actions they can take, policies they can write, and practices they can employ that support the implementation of the Clery Act campus-wide. Overall, Clery Act Essentials for Student Affairs Professionals provides a foundational overview of the basic requirements of the Clery Act, drawing from the statute, regulations, and current Department of Education guidance. This training provides an in-depth introduction to the Clery Act and is an ideal primer for our more advanced trainings, such as Virtual, In-Person, or Online Clery Act Training Seminars (CATS).
