Tiger Paw Student Handbook

THE STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW 
AND CAMPUS SECURITY ACT

The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (20 U.S.C.A./1092g) amends the Higher Education Act by imposing student consumer information requirements on all institutions, and additional requirements on institutions that award athletically related aid. Please follow this link for information about UWA Graduation Rates.

Under the Campus Security Act of 1990 and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, all post-secondary institutions are required to prepare records on crimes reported and arrests made on intoxication and alcohol related matters. It further requires pro-active campus policies and programs on alcohol abuse, the reporting of results of student disciplinary proceedings to alleged victims, notification of how to report a crime and who will respond to the student’s report, campus safety policies, and preventive security measures.  The University supports the intent of the acts and has taken steps to adhere to the guidelines.  Various policies in this handbook address the guidelines. Please follow this link for information about UWA Crime Statistics.
