University of North Georgia increased from 13 to 15 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.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 GA 4-year peers in this comparison, University of North Georgia is larger than 94% and safer-reporting than 47% - 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 19,291 enrolled students, University of North Georgia is the 223rd largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,362 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Savannah College of Art and Design (1.73/1k); Emory University (11.86/1k); University of West Georgia (0.77/1k); Georgia Gwinnett College (2.78/1k); Georgia Southern University (1.17/1k); Augusta University (4.50/1k); Valdosta State University (3.31/1k); Mercer University (5.44/1k). 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 (City College of San Francisco is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of North Georgia rose from 13 to 15 (+15%). The increase shows up in Rape (2 to 12) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (7 to 0) and Aggravated Assault (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 University of North Georgia
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Arson and Robbery.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Motor Vehicle Theft, 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 University of North Georgia sits on price and outcomes
At $9,823, University of North Georgia's reported average net price is cheaper than 23% among 124 Georgia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,482.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $6,981, while those above $110,000 record $13,481 - roughly 1.9 times as much. A published average of $9,823 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 $43,085 - about 4.4 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.
