Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Delaware Technical Community College-Terry was unchanged from 4 to 4 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.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Delaware Technical Community College-Terry held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Burglary (1 to 2) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Fondling (2 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 Delaware Technical Community College-Terry
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Robbery.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, 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 Delaware Technical Community College-Terry sits on price and outcomes

- Delaware median
- 3.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $4,034
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $10,934 for families reporting under $30,000 against $14,968 above $110,000, a difference of $4,034. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $11,578 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $35,336, roughly 3.1 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
