When we talk about the Clery Act, we are actually referring to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, and a series of other security-related disclosure requirements contained in section 485 of the Higher Education Act (20 USC §1092).

The basic requirements of the Act fall into six categories:
1. Campus crime reporting.
2. Timely warning notices.
3. Emergency notifications and emergency response testing.
4. Fire safety reporting and missing student procedures.
5. Notices to prospective students and employees.
6. Policy statements.
