Transfer Student Information
Congratulations on your transfer acceptance to the University of Maine!
We hope you will consider campus living. Living on campus maximizes opportunities for social, cultural, and extracurricular involvement and is positively linked to students’ persistence toward attaining a degree, and can help transfer students become acclimated to the area much more quickly.
The University does not require transfer students to live on campus.
Once the housing application is complete, it will be time to pay your $75.00 housing deposit. Once the deposit is received and you have confirmed with Admissions that you will be attending the University of Maine, we will mark your application as ready to be assigned.
PLEASE NOTE: Students enrolled in the Intensive English Institute are exempt from having to pay the housing deposit.
