Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Post 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 27 CT 4-year peers in this comparison, Post University is larger than 96% and safer-reporting than 73% - 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 16,178 enrolled students, Post University is the 279th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,306 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Yale University (11.44/1k); Sacred Heart University (2.00/1k); Central Connecticut State University (2.70/1k); Quinnipiac University (0.21/1k); Southern Connecticut State University (0.85/1k); University of New Haven (1.73/1k); Fairfield University (1.46/1k); University of Hartford (3.16/1k). 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 (University of North Florida is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Post University held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Fondling (0 to 1) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (2 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 Post University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Burglary, Robbery and Fondling.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, 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 Post University sits on price and outcomes
At $21,634, Post University's reported average net price is cheaper than 49% among 49 Connecticut colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $21,634.

- average net price
- $21,634
- Connecticut median
- 1.0×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $8,976
- reported income-bracket spread
This institution reports an unusual pattern: families under $30,000 record a HIGHER net price ($22,103) than those above $110,000 ($13,127). Fewer than 2% of institutions reporting both brackets show this shape. It can reflect small bracket samples or programme mix rather than aid policy, so treat it as a question to raise with the financial-aid office rather than a finding.
Median earnings six years after entry ($31,401) are less than 1.5 years 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.
