It can take time to adjust to a new place. If you’re a student who is new to UMPI (that includes first-year students and transfer students), we’ve set up your orientation to help. During orientation, you’ll get an understanding of the campus layout, be given several resources to be successful, and have fun while engaging with new classmates! The time to start soaring begins at ORIENTATION.
Before you arrive, make sure to check off the following:
What to Bring: Please visit our ResLife webpage to see what items are recommended and what items are prohibited. Bringing prohibited items into the residence will result in conduct and/or fines.
Parking Permit: Request online (free). Available for pickup in the Campus Center Safety Office starting early August.
Immunizations: Upload records showing 2 MMR and 1 Tdap (within 10 years). See Health Center info for exemptions.
Disability Accommodations: Email mary.barbosa@maine.edu for assistance.
Roommate Contact: If you have a new roommate, we recommend you connect beforehand to coordinate items and ease the transition.
Traveling by Bus or Plane: (PQI Airport: https://www.flypresqueisle.com/)
Walking from the airport (3mi) or the bus stop (1.6 mi) is not recommended.
Arrange your own transportation. UMPI does not provide pickup.
Options: Ask a friend, contact the ARTS Bus, or call Aroostook Cabs (207-496-3227). If traveling by taxi, we recommend you call as soon as possible to make a scheduled pickup at the airport. They can get booked up at that time of year by other students. Please note: The ARTS Bus and Taxi companies are not affiliated with UMPI.
