What changed in 2024
University of North Texas increased from 74 to 101 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 TX 4-year peers in this comparison, University of North Texas is larger than 83% and safer-reporting than 25% - 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 46,864 enrolled students, University of North Texas is the 41st largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,544 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Houston (5.54/1k); The University of Texas at Arlington (2.34/1k); Texas Tech University (3.66/1k); Texas State University (7.30/1k); Houston Community College (0.32/1k); The University of Texas at Austin (1.95/1k); Austin Community College District (4.05/1k); Collin County Community College District (0.56/1k). 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 (Utah Valley University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of North Texas rose from 74 to 101 (+36%). The increase shows up in Burglary (10 to 26), Motor Vehicle Theft (14 to 21) and Arson (0 to 6). Falling over the same period: Fondling (23 to 18).
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 Texas
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Fondling, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault and Arson.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Texas sits on price and outcomes
At $15,649, University of North Texas's reported average net price is cheaper than 43% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- average net price

- Texas median
- 2.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $10,632
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $12,311, while those above $110,000 record $22,943 - roughly 1.9 times as much. A published average of $15,649 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 $46,304, roughly 3.0 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.
