UConn and The Clery Act

UConn must comply with the Clery Act, a federal law requiring all institutions of higher education that receive federal funding to disclose information about crimes on their campuses and surrounding communities.

Reporting Clery Crimes

Clery Act Reporting Requirements

All members of the UConn community are strongly encouraged to report all crimes to the police in a timely manner. Certain UConn employees, designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs), are required to notify UConn Police when they become aware of a crime that has occurred on campus. Reports can be made by completing the Campus Security Authority Reporting Form. The information submitted through this form helps the University compile the Annual Security Report as required by the Clery Act.


CSAs include:

  • Individuals responsible for campus security, and

  • Individuals with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, such as deans, student affairs professionals, residence hall staff, athletic coaches, faculty or staff advisors to student organizations, and others likely to receive crime reports.

For more information on CSAs and reporting requirements, visit the Campus Security Authority webpage.

CSA Reporting Form

Responding to Students who Report Crimes

If a student discloses that they were the victim of a crime you should:


  1. Inform the student of your Clery reporting obligations.

  2. Let the student know you can make a report without providing their name.

  3. Inform the student of their right to talk with police.

  4. Notify the student of UConn's options and resources.

Note: A CSA Report is NOT a method of notifying police of a dangerous situation. In the event of an emergency contact 911. If you need police to respond to a routine call, dial (860) 486-4800.

New: Stop Campus Hazing Act

The Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) was enacted in December 2024 to prioritize the prevention of, and transparency about, hazing incidents on college campuses. 


As part of SCHA's requirements, statistics for hazing incidents will be included in UConn's Annual Security Report beginning October 1, 2026. More information about the SCHA and compliance requirements for the University will be shared soon with impacted departments.
