The Clery Act is a federal law which requires ATSU to disclose campus crime statistics and security information.

To comply with the Clery Act, this Clery Act Travel Form must be submitted for University-sponsored overnight student travel when all three of the following criteria exist:

1. The trip is in support of, or relates to, the school’s educational purposes or the student’s academic pursuits

2. The school is paying for all or part of the lodging (this includes when a student pays for the lodging and is later reimbursed)

3. There is an agreement (e.g., reservations, contract) between the school and the lodging for the students to stay there.  For example, overnight trips at hotels, campgrounds with a registration requirement, and Airbnb rentals are all reportable. Study abroad travel is also generally reportable. But day trips, or overnight stays at private homes, are generally not reportable.

Note: Reporting is typically required once the trip has been confirmed

The form does not need to be completed under the following circumstances:

- A student makes his or her own reservation and the student has paid for their own accommodations.
- It is a student-organized or private trip.
- Day trips, or overnight stays at private homes, are generally not reportable.
