Student Conduct

Participants in short-term travel programs are expected to conduct themselves in a mature and responsible fashion. Any violation of the University of Maine System Student Conduct Code may be sufficient grounds for dismissal from the program. If dismissed, a participant forfeits all payments and deposits and is responsible for his or her own return as well as other fees associated with their dismissal. USM does consider prior student conduct records when making acceptance decisions.

Cancellation Policy

USM reserves the right to cancel this program due to low enrollment, changing political or economic factors, unusual circumstances or any other event which would dramatically impact the nature of the course or the ability of the faculty to conduct such a course. If USM cancels the course due to low enrollment, the non-refundable deposit and any payments made toward the program will be refunded to the student. Other costs incurred by the student will not be subject to refunds.

Medical Insurance

Medical insurance is required for all travel programs. Students without medical insurance may be granted provisional acceptance, with a requirement that they purchase short term medical insurance. Please call the Office of International Programs at (207) 780-4959 for more information.
