Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Denmark Technical College decreased from 5 to 3 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 23 SC 2-year peers in this comparison, Denmark Technical College is larger than 18% and safer-reporting than 0% - the smaller, 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 Denmark Technical College fell from 5 to 3 (-40%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (5 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 Denmark Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Burglary and Aggravated Assault. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Motor Vehicle Theft. 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 Denmark Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $19,156, Denmark Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 69% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.
- $19,156
- average net price
- $16,525
- South Carolina median
- 1.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
Median earnings six years after entry ($18,631) are less than one year of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling. Just 13% 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.
