Your first stop to look for University information is MyUSM.

Tip: Bookmark MyUSM on your browser for easy access.

Things to keep in mind

  • MyUSM is a portal site: You’ll still find quick links to University of Maine System (UMS) single sign-on sites, as well as links to our public website. 
  • Who can access MyUSM?
    MyUSM is for University of Southern Maine (USM) current students, faculty, and staff:
    • Current undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the current or upcoming semester
    • New students who have confirmed their enrollment
    • Current faculty
    • Current staff
      Note: The students, faculty, and staff of other University of Maine System (UMS) Institutions cannot access MyUSM unless they are registered for, or teaching courses at, USM.

What hasn’t changed:
