New Survey Launch: UMaine Student Experience & Feedback

OIRA, in collaboration with the Office of Student Success & Innovation, has launched the UMaine Student Experience & Feedback Survey, a new tool designed to better understand why some students do not continue their studies at UMaine or UMaine Machias.

The survey provides students who have stopped out, withdrawn, or otherwise discontinued enrollment with an opportunity to share their perspectives on academics, finances, health, sense of belonging, and campus climate. Importantly, students can also indicate interest in re-engaging with the university, allowing for timely outreach and support.

Findings from this survey will help the university identify common barriers to persistence, highlight trends across student populations, and guide evidence-based improvements to academic and student support services. In addition, results will be shared with campus partners to inform future initiatives aimed at strengthening student success.
