Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Naropa University was unchanged from 3 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 37 CO 4-year peers in this comparison, Naropa University is larger than 25% and safer-reporting than 31% - 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 Naropa University held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Aggravated Assault (0 to 1) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (2 to 1) and Rape (1 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 Naropa University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Rape and Robbery. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 7 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 Naropa University sits on price and outcomes
At $29,179, Naropa University's reported average net price is cheaper than 82% among 67 Colorado colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,052.
- $29,179
- average net price

- Colorado median
- 0.9×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $24,940
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $21,457, while those above $110,000 record $46,397 - roughly 2.2 times as much. A published average of $29,179 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median earnings six years after entry ($21,841) 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.
