Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Utah Valley University was unchanged from 16 to 16 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 20 UT 4-year peers in this comparison, Utah Valley University is larger than 95% and safer-reporting than 53% - the larger, safer-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 46,807 enrolled students, Utah Valley University is the 42nd largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,543 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Utah (15.02/1k); Brigham Young University (1.76/1k); Weber State University (1.28/1k); Utah State University (1.00/1k); Southern Utah University (1.10/1k); Utah Tech University (1.75/1k); Ensign College (1.19/1k); Snow College (3.23/1k). 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 (University of North Texas is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Utah Valley University held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (3 to 9) and Robbery (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 1), Burglary (4 to 2) and Fondling (3 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 Utah Valley University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Burglary, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Robbery and Arson.
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 Utah Valley University sits on price and outcomes
At $6,376, Utah Valley University's reported average net price is cheaper than 9% among 45 Utah colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,659.

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,904, while those above $110,000 record $13,297 - roughly 3.4 times as much. A published average of $6,376 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 $46,825 - about 7.3 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.
