For an up to date list of how SMCC courses transfer to UMaine and which SMCC courses can be used to meet UM General Educational Requirements, please consult the UMS Online Transfer Equivalency Tool at: https://peportal.maine.edu/.

A minimum grade of C- (or C for English Composition) is required for transfer Credit to be awarded. Courses taken at SMCC in which the student did not earn the required grade to satisfy either transfer credit or degree requirements would need to be retaken at either UMaine or SMCC in order to earn the grade needed to count toward the degree at UMaine. Once enrolled at UMaine, the student would need to seek permission from their advisor and complete a domestic study away form to alert Student Records if they plan to take any courses at SMCC.
