Self-paced Clery Act Training Seminar - Rolling Registration

Our Self-paced Clery Act Training Seminar (CATS) illuminates common challenges and promising practices via asynchronous and engaging learning opportunities. Each carefully crafted component of Self-paced CATS brings the regulations to life and guides your plan for the future. Participants will: 

  • have multiple opportunities to address campus-specific questions, 
  • apply new concepts through videos, quizzes, and engaging online content 
  • utilize a digital Workbook that incorporates a plan to implement when back on campus, 
  • come away with concrete tools, strategies, and ideas to put into practice right away or over time, and 
  • retain access to the course for 12 months from registration to complete the curriculum at their own pace
Bridge the gap between the requirements of the Clery Act and your campus's distinct needs with a specialized curriculum that addresses both the letter and spirit of the law. Our Clery Act Training Seminars equip participants with the tools and strategies necessary to create an actionable Clery compliance plan. Subjects covered in CATS trainings include:
  • Identifying and training campus security authorities (CSAs)
  • Identifying Clery geography
  • Counting & classifying Clery Act crimes
  • Composing an institution’s annual security report (ASR)
  • Designing & implementing prevention and response efforts for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
  • Conducting campus disciplinary procedures for student or employee cases of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
  • Evaluating the need for and issuing timely warnings or emergency notifications
  • Developing, revising, or implementing policy and procedures to address any of the above

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.

Note: On October 9, 2020, the Department of Education rescinded the Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting replacing it with an Appendix to the Federal Student Aid Handbook. Find more information on our take on the rescission and its implications for the future by reading our blog posts. Currently, Self-paced CATS does not address the Handbook rescission directly; however, its content is still applicable as this training covers the Clery Act statute and regulations themselves, which will still be enforced by the Department of Education. Additionally, the Handbook will still be used by the Department when conducting program reviews for years in which the Handbook was in place. We encourage you to view our FAQ video after registering and before beginning the training so you are briefed on the implications of the changes. Continue to look for further updates from us in the coming weeks.

Q: Do you share your materials for Title IX purposes?
A: As a way to support institutions in their efforts to comply with section 106.45 of the final Title IX Rules, Clery Center does provide its Title IX-related training materials as appropriate. Clery Center maintains sole discretion over what, if any, materials used during a training, workshop, or other event are applicable. You can read our guidelines in full here.
