Visits & Online Experiences
We’re proud of our diverse academic community and we want you to experience it! When it’s not possible to meet in person — and while we’re taking precautions to protect the well-being of our visitors and the University — we offer online and virtual experiences so you can connect with us and learn more about the University of Southern Maine (USM).
Take a Virtual Tour
Take a closer look at our three campuses through our interactive, virtual tour. You decide where to go, what to see, and how long to stay!
Information
Experience USM
This series of specially-curated events for high school seniors and their families offers a personalized introduction to an area of study at USM that interests you. Meet faculty, staff, and current students during an informational webinar to get a firsthand impression of our welcoming community and culture. Learn about our immersive academic programs, our experiential learning philosophy, and the admission process.
On-Campus Tours: Gorham and Portland
A limited number of in-person Gorham and Portland campus tours are available by appointment only. Choose a weekday between Oct 13 and Nov 19 to join us for an outdoor, 60-minute private walking tour with one of our USM Ambassadors.
Please note: We require the use of cloth face masks at all times. Lewiston campus tours are not available at this time.
Online Information Sessions: Undergraduate Programs
Learn more about the USM academic experience — such as majors, internships, and other real-world learning opportunities — plus why we’re an affordable option, and the steps of the application process. Connect with an admissions counselor and a current student, and get answers to your questions through this 45-minute online event.
Student-Guided Virtual Campus Tour
One of our friendly student ambassadors will lead a 45-minute virtual tour through our YouVisit platform and share the same insider information you would only receive during an in-person campus tour. Stick around after the tour for an opportunity to get answers to your questions about campus life, the admissions process, and more.
USM Ambassadors
Our ambassadors range from energetic first-year students to accomplished graduating seniors; from transfer students to working adults. Like our student body, these students each bring unique stories, experiences, and skills to help you find yourself here.
Online Information Sessions: Graduate Programs
Receive the help and support you need to advance your education at our university. Each 45- or 60-minute online session will cover everything from the degrees and certificates we offer to the admission process and opportunities for research and scholarship. Choose from a general overview or a spotlight session focused on one program.
Transfer Talks
Whether you’d like to transfer or you’re coming back to complete your degree, we’re here to help you navigate! Join an admissions counselor for a 30-minute online appointment. We can cover the basics of the application and transfer process — like transferring course credit — or fast-track to an instant admission decision.
Connect with a Faculty Member
Whether you are at the start of your college search or have already sent in your application, one of the best ways to learn about our academics is by talking with our experts. You can connect one-on-one with an undergraduate faculty member or a staff member via phone, email, or video chat about your specific academic interests. Submit your request now to book a chat.
Chat with a Husky

You can connect with a current undergrad or graduate student via phone, email, or video chat. Whether you are just beginning your college search or have already applied to USM, this one-on-one chat allows you to learn firsthand about all we have to offer.
