The Clery Act requires institutions to disclose statistics for reported crimes based on where the crimes occur. Clery Geography is broken down in to three specific geographical categories: on-campus and on-campus student housing facilities, noncampus property or buildings, and public property.

Additionally, institutions that have more than one campus must meet all the same requirements for each separate campus. 34 CFR 668.46(C)(4)
