What actually gets reported at Thomas College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Rape.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Thomas College sits on price and outcomes
At $18,885, Thomas College's reported average net price is cheaper than 55% among 31 Maine colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,510.

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $12,655, while those above $110,000 record $26,770 - roughly 2.1 times as much. A published average of $18,885 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six-year median earnings of $40,495 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
