Reporting-period change

What changed in 2024

+1 reported incidents

Great Bay Community College 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.

See national reporting-year changes

What changed between 2023 and 2024

Reported on-campus incidents at Great Bay Community College rose from 0 to 1. The increase shows up in Fondling (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 Great Bay Community 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 Great Bay Community College sits on price and outcomes

reported income-bracket spread

Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $13,237 for families reporting under $30,000 against $21,963 above $110,000, a difference of $8,726. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $15,768 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.

Median reported earnings six years after entry are $39,867, roughly 2.5 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 32% 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.
