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 Columbus Technical College fell from 1 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in Burglary (1 to 0).
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 Columbus Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, 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 Columbus Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $4,001, Columbus Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 6% among 124 Georgia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,482.

- six-year earnings to median debt
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $28,884 - about 7.2 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Just 24% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.
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.
