Federally Mandated Disclosure 

This information is provided as part of The University of Akron's commitment to safety and security on campus and is in compliance with the Federal Crime Awareness Campus Security Act of 1990.

Annual Campus Security Act Report 

Your safety is our concern. It also must be your concern. As a university, we work very hard to prevent crime, fire, accidents and illness, but nothing we do is as important as what you do - and, in some cases, don't do. The University of Akron Police Department has primary responsibility for crime prevention and law enforcement on campus. Other areas, such as Student Affairs, Transportation and Parking, Environmental Health and Safety and many others also contribute to making this a safer place to study, work and live.

This publication and web site contain valuable information about how you can help us keep you safe, on and off campus. Please pay special attention to the safety tips. Following them may greatly reduce the chances that you'll be the victim of crime, become injured or lose valuables.

Reports for regional campuses of The University of Akron are reported separately by those campuses.

Let's work together to have a safe year. 

Components of this Annual Safety Report:

• Crime prevention practices at UA
