Online Information Session for New Graduate Students – Spring 2026
Featured
The Office of Graduate Studies is delighted to welcome our new graduate students to the community at the University of Southern Maine! We are hosting an Online Information Session for New Graduate Students on Friday, January 17, from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. via Zoom.
This session will highlight some of the information within the USM Graduate Student Orientation Brightspace (login required), offer new students a chance to hear directly from university staff about available support services, and give the newest members of the community the opportunity to ask questions and deepen their awareness in order to help position themselves for graduate student success. We’ll spend the hour providing:
- information about programs and services housed within OGS (including scholarships, fellowships, research, and professional development funds),
- tips for navigating student accounts and billing,
- methods of accessing university health and counseling services, and
- advice and organizational tools from current graduate students.
Please use your maine.edu credentials to RSVP for this event by Wednesday, January 14, so we can be sure to send you the Zoom link prior to the event — and be sure to contact the Office of Graduate Studies at usmgradstudies@maine.edu with any questions or concerns. We hope to see you there!
