Campus Safety at Chamberlain University-Illinois

Every college that receives federal financial aid must publish its crime statistics each year under the Clery Act. These are the figures Chamberlain University-Illinois reported for 2024.

0
On-Campus Offenses
0
In Residence Halls

Read these numbers carefully. A Clery figure counts reports, not incidents. A university with active reporting channels, a large campus police force and a teaching hospital will record more offenses than one where the same events go unreported — so a higher count is not evidence of a more dangerous campus, and a low count is not evidence of a safe one. In 2024, 833 campuses with more than 1,000 students reported no offenses at all. Use these figures to ask a college questions, not to rank one against another.
