Our location in the vibrant economic, intellectual, and cultural hub of Maine offers students a rich and exciting learning environment — in the classroom, in the lab, and in collaboration with our community partners.
Your student got in! What’s next?
We focus on the success of our incoming students, but we know parents and families are also integral. We collected undergraduate resources so you can learn about orientation, dining plans, disability services, campus safety, school breaks, and other essentials.
Admitted Student Days 2024
Newly-admitted Huskies and their families can attend one or more all-day events to learn about our university and meet other students. We’ll highlight specific majors depending on the date, so make sure to review your options carefully!
Undergraduate open house
Join us on October 19 to learn about our majors and minors, financial aid, career planning, and student life. Walking tours led by current students will introduce you to our Gorham and Portland campuses, including our new student center.
Campus safety
Rest assured, we’re committed to the safety and welfare of our community. Our Campus Safety Project is a university-wide effort to promote healthy relationships by providing sexual abuse prevention education and response training for students, faculty, and staff. You may also want to read our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
Student support and advocacy
The Dean of Students office promotes our Community Standards through programs and services, administers the Student Conduct Code, advises the Student Conduct Committee and the Academic Integrity Board, and chairs both the Student Assistance and Care Team (ACT) and the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT).
Career-building opportunities
Our faculty, alumni, and community partnerships open doors to real-world experiences. We foster connections with local and global businesses, Triple-A sports teams, teaching hospitals, performing arts venues, and various other options.
A focus on academic advising
Your student’s success is our highest priority. We provide a variety of resources to support our students, including academic advising, career coaching, and study skills development. Advising offices are located on each of our three campuses, and our Advising Network works to strengthen the partnership between students and academic advisors.
The campus experience
Our six residence halls provide a safe and comfortable home-away-from-home that’s close to community, classes, and campus resources. Our expansive residential campus in Gorham is the hub of undergraduate life. It’s closely connected via bus to our lively urban campus in Portland — Maine’s largest city, and the region’s economic and cultural capital.
