Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Full Sail University increased from 0 to 1 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 FL 4-year peers in this comparison, Full Sail University is larger than 89% and safer-reporting than 92% - 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 27,169 enrolled students, Full Sail University is the 131st largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,454 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Palm Beach State College (0.12/1k); St Petersburg College (0.00/1k); Broward College (1.04/1k); Florida State College at Jacksonville (0.47/1k); Florida Atlantic University (2.12/1k); Hillsborough Community College (0.19/1k); Nova Southeastern University (1.87/1k); Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale (0.29/1k). 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 (Boise State University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Full Sail University rose from 0 to 1. The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (0 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 Full Sail University
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Full Sail University sits on price and outcomes
At $38,875, Full Sail University's reported average net price is cheaper than 95% among 263 Florida colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,849.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $38,738 and those above $110,000 report $41,762, a difference of just $3,024. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median earnings six years after entry ($31,917) 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.
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.
