What changed between 2023 and 2024

Reported on-campus incidents at University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 2).

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 Connecticut-Waterbury Campus

Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.

The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling and Incest. 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 Connecticut-Waterbury Campus sits on price and outcomes

See Connecticut's cost ranking

At $10,875, University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 6% among 49 Connecticut colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $21,634.

reported income-bracket spread

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,604, while those above $110,000 record $20,538 - roughly 3.7 times as much. A published average of $10,875 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 $63,322 - about 5.8 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.
