Using Your UMS E-Mail Address
USM uses email as an official and primary means of communication to all of its students, accepted and/or enrolled. In some cases, email may be the only form of communication.
Official University assigned email accounts are created for all accepted and/or enrolled students usually in the form of FirstName.LastName@maine.edu. Students are responsible to read all information sent to them via their University assigned email account. The University has the right to expect that such communications will be received and read in a timely fashion. It is imperative that students understand that a majority of University information will be communicated to them via their University assigned email account. Activate your UMS e-mail account at https://mail.maine.edu The complete Email Communication Policy can be found on-line at http://usm.maine.edu/doit.
Photocopying or printing from a USM computer
Photocopying and printing is easy if you have “Husky Bucks” on your USM ID Card. You can add value (money) to your card by using the card machines at the Portland or Gorham library or online at: www.usm.maine.edu/usmcard/funds.htm
