At Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), maintaining a safe and secure campus environment is one of our highest priorities. Campus Security Authorities are a vital part of our institutional effort in working together for safe campuses. Campus Security Authorities are defined by the Clery Act and designated by FGCU.

Your responsibilities as a Campus Security Authority will be well-defined through annual training and provided resources. These responsibilities include reporting certain crimes identified by the Clery Act that are reported to you which occurred on or around FGCU campuses and properties. A helpful formula to keep in mind is a Clery Crime + Clery Geography = a reportable Clery Crime Statistic.

There are four categories of CSAs, as defined by the Clery Act:

• A campus police department or a campus security department of an institution.
• Any individual or individuals who have responsibility for campus security but who do not constitute a campus police department or a campus security department (e.g., an individual who is responsible for monitoring the entrance into institutional property). 
• Any individual or organization specified in an institution’s statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses.
• An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline and campus judicial proceedings. An official is defined as any person who has the authority and the duty to take action or respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution.

All FGCU CSAs are notified of their designation upon assuming their role which makes them a CSA, and on an annual basis thereafter. FGCU CSAs are required to participate in training on an annual basis – all communication and reminders of the training will be sent to CSAs from the Clery Act Compliance Officer.

If you are here to complete CSA Training, you have been identified as a FGCU Campus Security Authority (CSA). The CSA training consists of a 40-minute presentation explaining what the responsibilities of a CSA are and how to report crimes to the Clery Compliance Officer. After the video, there is a 8 question quiz. You must score 80% on the quiz to successfully complete this training. You will need to click on the button below to complete the CSA training. This training is required to be completed annually.

After completing the training, the Clery Compliance Officer will record your efforts and you will receive an emailed certificate of completion.

If you have any questions regarding the training or process please reach out to Diania Tsenekos, Clery Act Compliance Officer: dltsenekos@fgcu.edu or 239-590-1926.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts towards maintaining a safe and secure campus for all.
