How does the Clery Act affect Rend Lake College?

The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to disclose crime statistics and security information annually. The data reported here comes directly from the US Department of Education's OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey.

What is a campus safety score?

The safety score divides 2024 on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents by enrollment, per 1,000 students. It does not include arrests, disciplinary referrals, fire records, unreported harm, or nearby crime. Lower scores mean fewer included incidents relative to enrollment. Only nonzero scores at campuses with 500 or more students are ranked; a 0.00 score is left unranked.

Cost context

Where Rend Lake College sits on price and outcomes

See Illinois's cost ranking

At $9,187, Rend Lake College's reported average net price is cheaper than 24% among 178 Illinois colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,405.

$9,187
average net price: $15,405
Illinois median: 5.1×
six-year earnings to median debt

Median reported earnings six years after entry are $29,814, roughly 3.2 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. 62% complete within six years, so roughly 38% 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.
