Policies for Preparing the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics

Regarding the annual disclosure of crime statistics, the Chief of Public Safety is responsible for distributing an annual notice to all students and employees describing where and how the University's annual security report can be obtained. The Human Resources Department is responsible to provide notice to all prospective employees and the Admissions Departments are responsible for all prospective students.

The University's annual crime statistics are available electronically. A paper copy will be provided to a requestor.

An annual notice is also distributed to all students and employees regarding the availability and location to obtain the University's annual security report.
