How does the Clery Act affect Technical College of the Lowcountry?

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 Technical College of the Lowcountry sits on price and outcomes

See South Carolina's cost ranking

At $14,724, Technical College of the Lowcountry's reported average net price is cheaper than 43% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.

$14,724
average net price: $16,525
South Carolina median: 3.4×
six-year earnings to median debt

Six-year median earnings of $34,001 run about 2.3 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. Just 15% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.

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.
