The username and password from your UMS Student Account will be used as a University email account. Several departments on campus, as well as several faculty, will communicate to students via this email account. It is important to keep this email account current in order to receive information regarding financial aid, course registration, student activities and course information from faculty.
If you are taking an online course from any of the campuses in the University of Maine System, you will more than likely have to log into Blackboard to access this course. Some faculty also use Blackboard to supplement an on-campus course. The username and password for Blackboard are the same as the username and password for email and MaineStreet access.
The username and password from your UMS Student Account will also be used to access the MaineStreet Portal for viewing and maintaining admissions and demographic information. Over the next few years, all student systems (registration, financial aid, billing) will be handled through the MaineStreet portal.
