Campus Security Authority

Campus Security Authorities are advocates, responding and supporting students who report criminal activity.  

As a Campus Security Authority (CSA), you may be someone to whom a victim, witness or other person feels comfortable reporting a crime. As a CSA, you have a legal obligation to report any violations of the Clery Act as communicated to you. Use the reporting form to alert the appropriate authorities promptly.
