Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 35,770 enrolled students, The University of Texas at San Antonio is the 77th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,508 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (0.80/1k); Collin County Community College District (0.56/1k); Austin Community College District (4.05/1k); San Jacinto Community College (0.31/1k); Texas State University (7.30/1k); Texas Tech University (3.66/1k); The University of Texas at Dallas (1.20/1k); South Texas College (0.22/1k). 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 (University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at The University of Texas at San Antonio fell from 42 to 37 (-12%). The increase shows up in Rape (5 to 11) and Fondling (5 to 6). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (7 to 2), Motor Vehicle Theft (22 to 17) and Burglary (3 to 1).
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 Texas at San Antonio
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Burglary and Robbery.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. 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 Texas at San Antonio sits on price and outcomes
At $10,836, The University of Texas at San Antonio's reported average net price is cheaper than 24% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $7,870, while those above $110,000 record $20,489 - roughly 2.6 times as much. A published average of $10,836 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $46,340 - about 4.3 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
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.
