Virtual Communities

Virtual Communities are residential communities that communicate primarily through online means. These communities are interest-based and not assigned to any one area of campus.

In some cases, these communities will collaborate on projects and find ways to stay connected outside of the classroom.  All virtual communities are based through a GUILDED server.

To join our server, you must create an account via GUILDED and fill out a short application to be admitted. You must read our rules and behavioral expectations prior to filling out your application. Applicants must provide their full name, an @maine.edu email, and acknowledge that they have read and understand the rules and behavioral expectations for server use to be successfully admitted.

All students interested in joining one of the Virtual Communities should reach out to Shane Smith, Assistant Director of Residence Life at 207.581.1404 or email shane.p.smith@maine.edu. 

A copy of our server rules and behavioral expectations may be found here:
