About Clery Act Training Seminars (CATS)

Our in-person Clery Act Training Seminar (CATS) gives higher education professionals a unique chance to engage face-to-face with subject matter experts and peers in a comprehensive review of the Clery Act. Learn not only about the law’s requirements, but how to enact them at your institution considering your campus’ unique needs. 

Interactive, engaging, and practical, our Clery Act Training Seminars equip participants with the tools and strategies necessary to examine and improve practices back on campus. CATS will teach participants about:

• Stop Campus Hazing Act requirements including:
• Counting & classifying hazing as a Clery Act crime statistic
• Developing policies and procedures for reporting and investigating hazing incidents and offering prevention programs to educate about and prevent the occurrence of hazing
• Creating a Campus Transparency Report sharing information about recognized student organizations round responsible for hazing
• Identifying and training campus security authorities (CSAs)
• Identifying Clery geography
• Counting & classifying Clery Act crimes
• Implementing prevention programs and response efforts for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
• Conducting campus disciplinary procedures for student or employee incidents  of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking that also address Title IX requirements
• Evaluating the need for and issuing timely warnings or emergency notifications
• Composing an institution’s annual security report (ASR)
• Developing, revising, or implementing policy and procedures to address any of the above

Through facilitated dialogue, group and individual activities, and case study analysis participants will have the opportunity to practice the concepts taught while networking and connecting with professionals and instructors. 

A provided Workbook will help participants document their notes and learned strategies throughout the training and includes checklists and strategies to put into practice when returning to campus.

While anyone with an interest or desire in learning more about the totality of the Clery Act is welcome at all Clery Center trainings, our CATS curriculum is specifically designed for those with responsibility for oversight of Clery Act compliance and/or implementing its requirements.

CATS is available in three modalities: in-person, virtual, and self-paced. Learn more at clerycenter.org/cats.
