How many types of warnings are institutions required to issue under the Clery Act?

Institutions are required to issue three types of warnings under the Clery Act to ensure the safety and awareness of their campus communities. These warnings include timely warnings, emergency notifications, and annual security reports.

Timely warnings must be issued for crimes that pose an ongoing threat to students and employees, providing sufficient information to allow individuals to protect themselves. Emergency notifications are issued without delay whenever there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to health or safety on campus. The annual security report summarizes campus crime statistics and is intended to inform the community about campus safety measures and policies.

Understanding these three types of warnings helps institutions comply with Clery Act requirements and enhance campus safety protocols.
