What actually gets reported at Williston State College

Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.

The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling and Incest. 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 Williston State College sits on price and outcomes

See North Dakota's cost ranking

At $5,932, Williston State College's reported average net price is cheaper than 13% among 24 North Dakota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,773.

reported income-bracket spread

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $4,454, while those above $110,000 record $8,854 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $5,932 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 $39,524 - about 6.7 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 41% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.

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.
