What actually gets reported at Garrett College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Fondling.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary 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 Garrett College sits on price and outcomes
At $9,228, Garrett College's reported average net price is cheaper than 12% among 67 Maryland colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,140.

- average net price
- $17,140
- Maryland median
- 2.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,011
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $7,387, while those above $110,000 record $13,398 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $9,228 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $28,920, 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. Only 33% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
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.
