Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Arclabs increased from 0 to 2 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 22 SC Less than 2-year peers in this comparison, Arclabs is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 5% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Arclabs rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 2).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Arclabs
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Arclabs sits on price and outcomes
At $26,608, Arclabs's reported average net price is cheaper than 91% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.
- $26,608
- average net price
- $16,525
- South Carolina median
- $4,465
- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $26,334 and those above $110,000 report $30,799, a difference of just $4,465. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
77% of students complete within six years, which is high and means the published price is what most students actually pay through to a credential.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. A completion rate describes the cohort, not an individual student's likelihood of finishing.
