What changed in 2024
The University of Tampa increased from 8 to 17 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 37 FL 4-year peers in this comparison, The University of Tampa is larger than 67% and safer-reporting than 11% - the larger, higher-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.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at The University of Tampa rose from 8 to 17 (+113%). The increase shows up in Burglary (1 to 5), Rape (5 to 8) and Fondling (1 to 3). 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 The University of Tampa
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Burglary, Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Motor Vehicle Theft and Negligent Manslaughter.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 The University of Tampa sits on price and outcomes
At $36,211, The University of Tampa's reported average net price is cheaper than 91% among 263 Florida colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,849.

- Florida median
- 2.0×

- $7,964
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $30,011 for families reporting under $30,000 against $37,975 above $110,000, a difference of $7,964. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $36,211 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($48,397) are less than 1.3 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.
