Clery Act Compliance Training Academy

Clery Act Compliance Training Academy

The Clery Act Compliance Training Academy (formerly the Advanced Clery Act Training Class) is nationally recognized as the preeminent training program for teaching practitioners how to comply with the complex requirements of the Clery Act. The DSA Clery Team has trained more than 9,750 campus officials in the Clery Act since 2010. The Academy features expert instructors with significant knowledge, expertise, and practical experience in conducting audits and training classes for DSA.

The Academy is a comprehensive and intensive training experience that includes all elements of the Clery Act (which includes the 2008 HEOA security and safety requirements, the requirements of the Violence Against Women Act [VAWA], and information regarding the most up-to-date regulatory and sub-regulatory guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Education, including relevant audit findings). The training academy experience will benefit individuals who have not had previous Clery Act training, as we start with the basics and work into the advanced concepts. The academy will also benefit those who want to enhance their knowledge of the law. The academy includes a significant amount of training in classifying crimes according to Clery Act Guidelines. The academy features interactive instruction; group exercises; and use of an electronic testing system to reinforce the concepts learned. Each attendee is provided with electronic access to a number of forms and documents that will assist each attendee in developing a system for compliance at their institution. The instructors review and explain the purpose and use of each document throughout the Academy.
