Currently matriculated USM students may self-register through MaineStreet according to the priority registration schedule set by the Registrar’s Office. Students must already have activated their University of Maine System email account in order to access MaineStreet. (activation video tutorial)
Returning USM students may also register through MaineStreet according to the priority registration schedule set by the Registrar’s Office. However, any returning USM student who has not activated his or her email account or has forgotten their username or password should contact the USM HelpDesk for assistance (780-4029 or 1-800-800-4USM ext 4029 or by email at helpdesk@usm.maine.edu). This information will be needed to log in to Maine Street and register for classes.
