Enrollment Information

Before enrolling:

  • Refer to the Student Center: Resources for Students page to find an overview video and FAQs including how to enroll in classes using the Enhanced Student Center. If students encounter problems accessing MaineStreet, click here to view user account management information. It may be necessary to reset the account password. The IT Help Desk is also available for assistance.
  • Review your Degree Progress Report (undergraduate degree-seeking students only) and view the class offerings using the Class Search.
  • Meet with your advisor to obtain your Enrollment PIN and plan your course selection to ensure fulfillment of degree requirements. (Graduate and non-degree students are not required to use a PIN.)
  • Check enrollment dates on the Enrollment Appointment Schedule to determine enrollment appointments. The Enrollment Appointment is a set date and time when a student may enroll in classes for the term. An appointment is assigned to a student based on the amount of credit hours earned (excludes current class enrollment). Students may also access their enrollment appointment information in the Student Center in the Enrollment tab under Enrollment Dates. 
  • Check for enrollment (registration) holds in the Student Center and address any that will prevent enrollment. New students will have a hold associated with completing the Financial Terms and Conditions. This information is designed to ensure awareness and understanding of billing and financial obligations as a UMS student. Complete the To Do List item named “Financial Terms and Conditions” to release the registration hold on your account.

Enrolling in classes:

  • Log into your Student Center.
  • Enroll during the scheduled appointment time.
  • Select courses ahead of the enrollment appointment time using the “Shopping Cart” feature, also known as the “Wish List”. Adding classes to the Shopping Cart does not enroll a student into classes – it is only the first step.
  • Students have the option of enrolling in person by visiting the appropriate department or dean’s office.
  • Courses that require instructor or special permission need to be added by contacting the department offering the course.
  • Some courses will allow students to add themselves to a Wait List. Although each student on a Wait List is assigned a position number, that number does not necessarily represent the order in which students may be enrolled should openings in the class occur. More information can be found here.
  • If problems are encountered during the enrollment process, contact your academic department/college or the Office of Student Records by calling 207.581.1288, or send an email to umrecord@maine.edu.

Additional registration information is available in the online Undergraduate Catalog under “Enrollment Status”.

Wait List

Some classes have been designated to maintain a Wait List in MaineStreet. Students on the MaineStreet Wait List will be automatically enrolled when seats become available, provided there are no time conflicts or requirement restrictions. If the MaineStreet Wait List is not an available option for a desired class, students may contact the department offering the class and inquire about a Wait List maintained within the department. Each department has the option of utilizing the automated Wait List feature in MaineStreet, or to manage lists manually.

In either case, the following applies:

  • Departments will review the Wait List and when openings occur, staff will either enroll or reorder students with the highest need based on class level, need for major, or classes needed to remain in course sequence.
  • Responsibility lies on the student to be certain that classes for which they have been placed on a Wait List do not conflict with classes for which they are already enrolled. Should any conflicts exist, no enrollment from the Wait List will occur and the student will remain on the Wait List.
  • Responsibility lies on the student to drop a class in which they have been enrolled as a result of the Wait List process, should the student no longer desire the class. Students enrolled in a class as a result of the Wait List process will receive email notification via their @maine.edu email address.
  • A student may have a maximum of eight (8) total Wait List credit hours for a term.
