Click HERE for information on how you could be eligible for a
Tax Credit
by saving your textbook reciepts!

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's (ARRA) newly created American Opportunity Tax Credit, textbook and other course material expenses – along with tuition and fees incurred in 2009 and 2010 not covered by scholarships or grants – may be claimed as a tax credit on that year's tax return!

You must keep a record of your
expenses to be eligible!!

Diploma Frames

For the first time at USM, graduates were given the option to recycle their cap and gown in May 2009. After thousands of University graduates toss their caps into the air every May, most will eventually toss their cap and gown into the trash.
We're all very excited about this program and the potential positive impact it will have on the environment!

The USM Bookstores are located on each of our three campuses.
They stock all textbook titles and course materials for the
University of Southern Maine and the University of Maine School of Law.
