Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of Hawaii at Manoa increased from 37 to 47 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.

How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 20,028 enrolled students, University of Hawaii at Manoa is the 209th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,376 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Hawaii Pacific University (3.05/1k); Brigham Young University-Hawaii (20.65/1k); University of Hawaii-West Oahu (0.00/1k); University of Hawaii Maui College (1.43/1k); Chaminade University of Honolulu (1.11/1k); University of Hawaii at Hilo (4.12/1k); Pacific Rim Christian University (0.00/1k); Institute of Clinical Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (16.39/1k). 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 (Georgetown University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Hawaii at Manoa rose from 37 to 47 (+27%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (18 to 34) and Rape (5 to 6). Falling over the same period: Burglary (9 to 6), Fondling (4 to 1) and Aggravated Assault (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 University of Hawaii at Manoa
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Rape, Fondling, 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 Hawaii at Manoa sits on price and outcomes
At $15,664, University of Hawaii at Manoa's reported average net price is cheaper than 56% among 18 Hawaii colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $11,856.

- average net price

- Hawaii median
- 2.5×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $11,887
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $10,675, while those above $110,000 record $22,562 - roughly 2.1 times as much. A published average of $15,664 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 $45,701, roughly 2.9 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.
