Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of Alaska Anchorage increased from 30 to 37 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 University of Alaska Anchorage rose from 30 to 37 (+23%). The increase shows up in Burglary (5 to 11), Fondling (4 to 10) and Rape (5 to 7). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (8 to 3) and Aggravated Assault (5 to 3).
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 University of Alaska Anchorage
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Arson 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 University of Alaska Anchorage sits on price and outcomes
At $15,301, University of Alaska Anchorage's reported average net price is cheaper than 50% among 10 Alaska colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,301.

- average net price

- Alaska median
- 2.1×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,393
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $11,582, while those above $110,000 record $20,975 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $15,301 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,313, roughly 2.8 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
