Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Dallas College increased from 11 to 15 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 37 TX 4-year peers in this comparison, Dallas College is larger than 94% and safer-reporting than 75% - the larger, safer-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 69,749 enrolled students, Dallas College is the 10th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,575 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Lone Star College System (0.16/1k); Texas A&M University-College Station (12.28/1k); The University of Texas at Austin (1.95/1k); Houston Community College (0.32/1k); University of Houston (5.54/1k); University of North Texas (3.61/1k); The University of Texas at Arlington (2.34/1k); Texas Tech University (3.66/1k). 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 Central Florida is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Dallas College rose from 11 to 15 (+36%). The increase shows up in Statutory Rape (0 to 3), Burglary (1 to 2) and Motor Vehicle Theft (5 to 6). Falling over the same period: Rape (2 to 1).
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 Dallas College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Statutory Rape, Arson and Rape.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Dallas College sits on price and outcomes
At $3,214, Dallas College's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $2,120, while those above $110,000 record $9,504 - roughly 4.5 times as much. A published average of $3,214 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 $35,493 - about 11.0 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.
