Three types of properties make up what's known as Clery Geography for the purposes of Clery Act reporting. Crimes occurring in any of these areas are considered Clery crimes that must be reported by Campus Security Authorities (CSAs).

UCSB Owned/Controlled

Property is considered Clery Geography if it is owned or controlled by UCSB, used by UCSB in direct support of, or in a manner related to, educational purposes, and if it is frequented by students. UCSB-owned/controlled locations include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • All buildings/property on the UCSB campus, including student residence halls.
  • Buildings/property owned or controlled by UCSB or the UC Regents, including buildings in Isla Vista such as Tropicana Student Housing, Embarcadero Hall, Pardall Center, IV Theater, Gaucho Support Center, and others.
  • Research facilities in Santa Barbara and other counties throughout California.
  • Locations leased by UCSB for use by student athletes and club sports, such as the UCSB dock at the Santa Barbara Harbor.
  • Hotels in which students stay for school-sponsored travel for more than one night or on a regular basis.

Public Property

Public property immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus is considered Clery Geography. UCSB Clery public property includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Roads immediately adjacent to campus (including sidewalks adjacent to campus and sidewalks across the road from campus).
  • Parks adjacent to campus property, including all parks in the Isla Vista Loop and Ellwood Mesa (adjacent to West Campus).

  • The Pacific Ocean adjacent to campus (out to one mile).

Student Organization-Owned/Controlled

Property is considered Clery Geography if it is owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by UCSB. Student organization-owned/controlled locations include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Properties leased by UCSB-recognized fraternities, sororities, and non-Greek student organizations.
  • Hotels in which students stay for student organization-sponsored travel for more than one night or on a regular basis.
