Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Salt Lake Community College increased from 7 to 12 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.

How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 27,437 enrolled students, Salt Lake Community College is the 125th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,460 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Fortis College-Salt Lake City (0.00/1k); Galen Health Institutes-Salt Lake City (0.00/1k); Evans Hairstyling College-St George (0.00/1k); Evans Hairstyling College-Cedar City (0.00/1k). 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 (South Texas College is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Salt Lake Community College rose from 7 to 12 (+71%). The increase shows up in Burglary (1 to 5), Fondling (0 to 4) and Rape (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (5 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 Salt Lake Community College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Arson, Aggravated Assault, Rape and Robbery.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. 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 Salt Lake Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $9,804, Salt Lake Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 13% among 45 Utah colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,659.

- average net price

- Utah median
- 5.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,452
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $8,476 for families reporting under $30,000 against $13,928 above $110,000, a difference of $5,452. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $9,804 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $41,501 - about 4.2 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 29% 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.
