Contraception Availability Policy Statement Santa Clara University, a Catholic, Jesuit university, provides educational information regarding contraception and related issues. The Cowell Center– Student Health Services strives to ensure students have clear, up-to-date, and candid information regarding contraception, sexual health, and related issues. The Cowell Center–Student Health Services does not provide condoms or prescribe contraception. Cowell Center–Student Health Services’ staff of qualified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and health educators provide education regarding contraception and related health issues. The goal of this educational approach is not only to provide information, but to assist students in clarifying their values, making decisions, and assuming personal and social responsibility for their choices. Crime Reporting The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. Go to www.scu.edu/cs for more information. It is the policy of Santa Clara University to inform the campus community in a timely manner of any potential threat to the health, safety, or security of any or all persons on campus. The Director of Campus Safety Services is responsible for gathering, recording, and disseminating such information, and for decisions regarding the content, time, and manner of distribution. Depending on the circumstances, the Director of Campus Safety Services may request the assistance of various University departments and/or administrators in carrying out this responsibility. For campus statistics on crime, go to www.scu.edu/cs and follow the links to Campus Safety and Crime Reporting. The Clery daily crime log is kept at the Campus Safety Office and may be viewed by any person, at any time.
