»Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act Compliance

Annual Security Report

In compliance with the Clery Act, Chapman University publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report by October 1st each year. This report includes policy statements and crime statistics for incidents occurring in four defined areas:

  1. On campus

  2. In on-campus student housing

  3. On public property immediately adjacent to campus

  4. On non-campus properties owned or controlled by the university

The report is compiled by the Department of Public Safety in coordination with Residence Life, Student Life, and the Office of Community Standards, along with crime data provided by the Orange, Irvine, and Anaheim Police Departments.


Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

Under the Clery Act, a Campus Security Authority (CSA) is any university official with significant responsibility for student and campus activities who is designated to report crimes to Public Safety for inclusion in the Annual Security Report. CSAs may include:

  • Public Safety personnel

  • Resident Advisors (RAs)

  • Athletic coaches

  • Student organization advisors

  • Student activity coordinators

If a student or employee wishes to report a crime anonymously—such as in cases of sexual assault—they may do so through a CSA without initiating contact with law enforcement. The CSA will help connect them to appropriate resources and support services. While names and identifying details are not required, CSAs must report the nature of the crime, date, and location using the CSA Reporting Form.

If you are a CSA and need assistance reporting a Clery crime, please contact:
