Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Southeast Technical College was unchanged from 1 to 1 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.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Southeast Technical College held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (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 Southeast Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft and Rape. Motor Vehicle Theft accounts for most of them.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Southeast Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $17,400, Southeast Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 45% among 20 South Dakota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,146.
- $17,400
- average net price
- $18,146
- South Dakota median
- 3.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,836
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $14,418 for families reporting under $30,000 against $20,254 above $110,000, a difference of $5,836. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $17,400 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $43,427 run about 2.5 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. 56% complete within six years, so roughly 44% 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.
