Campus Safety and Security and Crime Statistic Reporting
At UAS, we care about your safety. While the campuses have been relatively safe environments in which to study and socialize, it is the responsibility of all students to be aware of and avoid potentially unsafe situations. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to report any crime or suspicious activity to a university official or local law enforcement.
The UAS campus crime statistics are compiled from an in-house database and with cooperation from the local law enforcement office. We use both systems as a check and balance for the crime stats generated for the Clery Act.
The crime statistics are based on a calendar year (January through December) not an academic year. These statistics are published and distributed each Fall Semester. The statistics are also entered in to the Department of Education web site. This is a federal requirement and is a means for the government to track compliance.
The Clery Act requires that all staff, faculty and students have access to these crime statistics. The statistics are published in the class schedules, in a safety brochure available at the UAS Juneau Student Resource Center, 2nd floor Novatney building.
