Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Northeastern Junior College increased from 2 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 18 CO 2-year peers in this comparison, Northeastern Junior College is larger than 88% and safer-reporting than 29% - the larger, 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 Northeastern Junior College rose from 2 to 3 (+50%). The increase shows up in Arson (0 to 1) and Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Fondling (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 Northeastern Junior College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Arson, Burglary and Fondling.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. 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 Northeastern Junior College sits on price and outcomes
At $13,801, Northeastern Junior College's reported average net price is cheaper than 33% among 67 Colorado colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,052.

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $10,206, while those above $110,000 record $20,054 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $13,801 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 $36,367, roughly 2.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. 55% complete within six years, so roughly 45% leave without the credential - and those students still carry whatever they paid.
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.
