Crime Tips

The Clery Act
The Clery Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities participating in federal student-aid programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security policies. It mandates an annual security report, timely warnings about ongoing threats, a public crime log, and reporting of crime statistics to the U.S. Department of Education. NMU collects this data from campus security authorities, local law enforcement, and the NMU Police Department, and makes it publicly available.
The Drug-Free Schools & Communities Act
Northern Michigan University complies with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 by sending annual notifications regarding the university's drug prevention program to students and employees, as well as completing biennial reviews.
Annual Security Report (Clery)
This guide is published annually with section 485(i) of the Higher Education Opportunity Act. All currently registered students as well as employees are directly mailed a notice by October 1 of each year that includes a statement of the report's availability, the exact electronic address at which the report is posted, a brief description of the report's contents, and a statement that the institution will provide a paper copy of the report upon request to NMU. An electronic version is available online.
