Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 32 MD 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Maryland Global Campus is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 35% - 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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 63,012 enrolled students, University of Maryland Global Campus is the 12th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,573 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Maryland-College Park (8.58/1k); Johns Hopkins University (7.38/1k); Towson University (3.04/1k); University of Maryland-Baltimore County (6.11/1k); Morgan State University (5.77/1k); Salisbury University (5.84/1k); University of Maryland, Baltimore (1.66/1k); Bowie State University (9.92/1k). 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 (Ohio State University-Main Campus is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Maryland Global Campus rose from 2 to 321 (+15950%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 287), Burglary (0 to 10) and Rape (0 to 10). Falling over the same period: Robbery (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 Maryland Global Campus
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Rape, Fondling, Aggravated Assault and Robbery. Motor Vehicle Theft accounts for most of them.
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.
