Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
College of Southern Nevada decreased from 10 to 9 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 15 NV 4-year peers in this comparison, College of Southern Nevada is larger than 93% and safer-reporting than 36% - 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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 28,313 enrolled students, College of Southern Nevada is the 120th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,465 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Nevada-Las Vegas (3.16/1k); University of Nevada-Reno (4.34/1k); Truckee Meadows Community College (0.28/1k); Nevada State University (1.19/1k); Western Nevada College (0.00/1k); Great Basin College (0.00/1k); Touro University Nevada (1.25/1k); Roseman University of Health Sciences (1.46/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (University of Connecticut is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at College of Southern Nevada fell from 10 to 9 (-10%). The increase shows up in Arson (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Burglary (4 to 2) and Motor Vehicle Theft (5 to 4).
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 College of Southern Nevada
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Arson and Robbery. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Incest and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. 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 College of Southern Nevada sits on price and outcomes
At $6,615, College of Southern Nevada's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 30 Nevada colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $22,990.

- average net price

- Nevada median
- 4.0×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,395
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,627, while those above $110,000 record $13,022 - roughly 2.3 times as much. A published average of $6,615 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $31,822 - about 4.8 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
