Campus Solutions: Information for Applicants
Welcome Applicants
We're glad you've chosen to apply to one of our universities.
All applications for admission are processed at a central location, the Shared Processing Center.
After your application has been received by the university(ies) of your choice, you will be assigned a seven-digit Student ID number (sometimes referred to as MaineStreet ID) and an account activation key. You'll use these to activate your UMS account. This account allows you to access the University of Maine System's student information portal (MaineStreet).
Before you try to activate your account, you might like to view the iDemo entitled "Activating Your UMS Account." After that, please visit our Account Info page to work your way through the activation process.
iDemos and Quick Guides for Applicants
iDemos are short, Macromedia Flash-based videos which play in your Web browser. When you click on an iDemo link, a new browser window will open; when the demonstration is over, close the new window to return to this page.
For help installing and using the Macromedia Flash plugin, please see:
