Degree students planning to
enroll in courses can register by calling the Interactive
Voice Response (IVR) System (207-581-6246). All students
can register online
or by completing a registration
form at the C & D Office in Chadbourne Hall and
faxing the form to 207-581-3141, mailing it the address
below, or call 207-581-3143. |
Print copies of the Course
guide and registration forms are available by mail at

must obtain the approval of their advisors before they
can register.
ATTENTION New Online Course Students - Please review our Getting Started Manual. |
Maine State Law (22-MRSA & 6359) requires all students
born after 1956 to furnish proof of immunization against measles,
rubella, tetanus and diphtheria if they are either in a degree
program or are registered full-time. Send a photocopy of immunizations,
signed by a health official, to the Cutler Health Center.
If proof of immunization is not provided, students will be
unable to register for classes.
Courses may be taken on a grade, pass/fail
or audit basis. Pass/fail courses carry degree credit but are
not calculated into the grade point average. With an audit registration,
the student participates in class work similar to a student
registered for credit but is not required to prepare reports
or take examinations. Degree students should check with their
advisors before registering for any course on a pass/fail or
audit basis.
Adding a Course
Students may add a new course during the first two weeks of
class.
During Summer University students may not add a new course
after the second class has met. This policy is strictly enforced
because of the abbreviated summer schedules.
Withdrawal from Courses
During the first third of a course, a student may drop a course
without academic penalty. (See "Dropping a Course"
section below.) During the second third of the course, a student
passing a course may drop it without penalty provided the student’s
advisor and dean approve. Courses dropped will show on the student’s
academic record, with a grade of "W." The grade will
not be computed into the semester average. During the final
third of a semester, any courses dropped will normally carry
a grade of "WF," unless extenuating circumstances
prevail. The grade will show on the student’s academic
record and will be computed into the semester average. Students
withdrawing from a course during the second or final third of
the course are required to complete a Late Schedule Change Form
available in the Summer Session Office. Late Schedule Change
Forms require the signature of the instructor, the student’s
advisor, and Dean of the College prior to their being submitted
to the Summer Session Office.
Dropping a Course
Dropping a course for which registration has been completed
must be done by completing a "drop" form or by calling
the Summer Session Office at 581-3143. Add-drop forms are available
in the Summer Session Office, 122 Chadbourne Hall.
Degree students may drop a course via IVR (207-581-6246).
Registrations are not automatically canceled when a student
fails to attend and does not officially notify the Summer Session
Office. Informing faculty that you are dropping a course is
not an official withdrawal.
THE DATE A COURSE IS DROPPED DICTATES BOTH ACADEMIC AND FINANCIAL
PENALTIES. SEE REFUNDS POLICY
Students who desire printed grade reports may print them at
any computer cluster using DSIS, or request them from the IVR
system, 207-581-6246. Requests for academic transcripts should
be directed to the Office of Student Records, 5781 Wingate Hall,
Room 100, Orono, ME 04469-5781. All requests must be in writing
and signed by the student. There is no fee for an official transcript.
Transcript requests are required to have grades sent to state
department of education, school superintendents or employers.
Call 207-581-1299 for more information. No partial transcripts
are issued and only University of Maine transcripts are issued.
University policy prohibits issuing official transcript(s) to
any student indebted to the University.
Students who must have evidence of course completion prior to
the issuance of grade reports may obtain a statement of summer
work from the Office of Student Records, Wingate Hall, Room
100, 207-581-1299.
Grade-Point Computation Quality point values for authorized
grades are shown below:
A = 4.00
A- = 3.67
B+ = 3.33
B = 3.00
B- = 2.67
C+ = 2.33 |
C = 2.00
C- = 1.67
D+ = 1.33
D = 1.00
D- = 0.67
F = 0.00 |
Grading System Symbols on grade reports and transcripts are
as follows:
A — Superior
ACC — Acceptable (graduate thesis only)
B — Good
C — Satisfactory
D — Poor
DG — Deferred Grade (for multiple-semester course)
F — Failure
F* — Failed (for pass/fail courses; not included in GPA)
AU — Audited
I — Incomplete Work
L — Stopped Attending/Never Attended (computed as an
"F")
MG — Missing Grade (no grade submitted by instructor)
P — Passed (for pass/fail course)
R — Deferred (graduate thesis only)
T — Deferred (undergraduate thesis only)
W — Withdrew Passing
WF — Withdrew Failing (computed as an "F")
*The number of semester hours completed with a grade of A
is multiplied by 4, B+ by 3.33, C- by 1.67, etc. This computation
is carried to two decimal places for each course. These results
are added and this total is divided by the total number of
semester hours (including courses with a grade of F). The
result will show the semester average which is carried to
two decimal places.
