In order to maintain a safe environment for its faculty, staff, employees, students, patients and visitors, the University of South Alabama will comply with the provisions of the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998,” (Clery Act) as amended. The Clery Act requires the University to report specified crime statistics and data to the Department of Education and to provide a variety of safety and crime information to the campus community as well as outline all required statements of policy in the annual security and fire safety reports.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR) is published in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (known as the Clery Act) and is required to be published on or before October 1st of each calendar year. 

The ASFSR contains statistical data on specific Clery-reportable crimes for the three previous calendar years. Please review the definitions for the reported crime categories provided on page 17 of the ASFSR.
