Are You Interested in Taking a Course,

But Not Sure Which One?

graphic of six questions marks

Consider How Much Time You Have Each Week to Devote to a College Course

A typical semester is 15 weeks long.  For every 1 credit hour in which you enroll, you will spend approximately 2-3 hours outside of class studying. Thus, one 3 credit course = 3 hours in class per week + 6-9 hours study time per week = 9-12 total hours per week.

  • 15 week course= ~9-12 hours per week
  • 6 or 7 week course= ~ 20 hours per week
  • 3 week course= ~40 hours per week (Not all campuses allow students to take 3 week courses due to the intensity of the workload)

Understanding the Five Types of Education Modalities 

In Person (P)

Classes will be taught in-person, on-campus on the days and hours listed in the class schedule.

Online (WW)

Classes will be conducted entirely online through Brightspace or another learning management system (asynchronous) and digital course materials, such as video lectures, readings, discussion boards, etc. Students will not attend a scheduled class session at a campus location or through Zoom.

Distance Synchronous (DS)

Classes will be conducted entirely in LIVE (synchronous), online sessions (using Zoom or similar tools) on the days and hours listed in the class schedule. Students will not attend class on-campus.

Hybrid/Blended (HB)

Classes will be a mixture of in-person classroom instruction and online components. Students should be available on the days and hours listed in the schedule of class meetings.

Hyflex (HF)

A single course is designed so you can choose the instruction mode that fits your needs. Courses designated hyflex shall be offered both in-person and distance synchronously. There shall be no requirement to record classes or to provide copies of such recordings to anyone. Students can choose to experience the course flexibly through any one of the two (possibly three) modes interchangeably during the semester. You still need to keep pace with the course schedule.

Will I have the support if I need help in my class?

Yes! You will not be learning on your own. No matter what types of classes you choose, UMS is committed to supporting students. Professors and TAs are doing their best to make sure that you will have the help you need, whether you are in person, online, or somewhere in between.

Are there classes that allow me to go at my own pace?

No. Even online classes still have due dates and deadlines throughout the semester. All class types will follow a university semester schedule, including a finals schedule.

UMS Early College Course Retake Policy

The Maine Department of Education (DOE) Aspirations program will now cover the cost for a student to retake a course if they earned a D, F, W or L grade (one time per course). Previously, students who needed to retake a course had to pay the UMS reduced Early College (EC) tuition rate. 

This new system-wide policy is written to serve the best interest of the student and is a critical component of our goals to promote equity and access while focusing on their future college success.  

Purpose/Problem Statement:  

Student success is a UMS priority. National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) accreditation requires that universities provide student support services, as well as continuous improvement efforts through regular program evaluations. UMS (EC) Offices share the responsibility of providing students with advising, support, and resources to give them the best chance of future success with our high school partners. This advising includes guiding students who are unsuccessful in their classes to the best course of action to improve their university transcript. 

EC students are creating permanent college transcripts and these transcripts must be sent to colleges during the application process. Having a failing grade can impact a student’s ability to get into college after high school, have implications for federal financial aid, and/or mean they start their college journey on academic probation. This new policy is designed to require students to remediate their F or L grade as soon as possible to prevent some of these consequences.

Grade Definitions, Credits, and Impact on Grade Point Average (GPA)

  • W: Student officially withdrew from the course after the drop period.  The grade of W has no impact on GPA, but is listed on official and unofficial transcripts.
  • D: A low-level passing/below average grade. Work completed does not adequately prepare students for more advanced work in the discipline.  If a student matriculates to the UMS system campus where the D grade is earned, then the D grade may contribute toward the number of credits required for graduation 120). However, the D grade may not satisfy program-specific graduation requirements. D grades do not transfer. Computed into GPA as 1.0.
  • F: Failure. No credit is earned. Computed into GPA as 0.0.
  • L: Never attended or stopped attending without officially dropping or withdrawing from the course. Computed into GPA as 0.0.
  • I: Incomplete. A temporary grade at the instructor’s discretion. Instructors assign the I grade when students have participated in the majority of a class, but as a result of extenuating circumstances the student has not completed and/or submitted assignments during the grading period. Before submitting an I grade, instructors should specify the remaining assignments and a deadline for submission. Some instructors may include the grade a student will be assigned if remaining assignments are not submitted.

Required Next Steps for Students Earning W, D, F, L, I

Grades 

  • W: A student who earns a W grade will not be required to retake the course.
  • D: A student earning a D grade will be encouraged, but not required to retake the course.  
  • F/L:  A student earning an F or L grade will be required to retake the course before taking any additional course online or on-campus courses.
    • Students will not be dropped from a course that has already started. However, they will not be registered for any additional online or on-campus courses in subsequent semesters once the early college office receives the F or L grade report.
  • I: A student who earns an I grade will be required to complete that course before taking any additional course(s). Students receiving an I grade are not allowed to register for the same course unless the grade is converted to an F. A student receiving an I grade may not make up missed work by sitting-in on the course the next time it is taught. If the student is registered for any subsequent course (s) then they will be removed. Students with I grades will not be able to take additional courses until they have completed their course with a D- or better. 

Early College Outreach Process 

  • The Early College Advising & Success Coordinator (ECASC) will email students with the following grades: W, D, F/L, and I. Counselors will be included, as well as parents (if there is a signed FERPA release on file). 
  • Students with F/L/I grades will be encouraged to meet with ECASC to create a success plan.

Fall 2024 Late Start Course Options

Important Notes:

  • The links below include late start courses available to all matriculated students. Not all courses are available to or appropriate for early college students and applications may not be processed by the campus early college offices. If you have a question about a specific course, then contact the early college office for that campus.
  • Late start courses include the same amount of work as a full semester course and thus will require additional work per week.
    • A typical semester is 15 weeks long.  For every 1 credit hour in which you enroll, you will spend approximately 2-3 hours outside of class studying. Thus, one 3 credit course = 3 hours in class per week + 6-9 hours study time per week = 9-12 total hours per week.
      • 15 week course= ~9-12 hours per week
      • 6 week course= ~ 20 hours per week
      • 3 week course= ~40 hours per week (Not all campuses allow students to take 3 week courses due to the intensity of the workload)

Application Deadlines

  • The deadline for completed applications is 1 week before the class start date regardless of whether there are spots available in the class.

For questions and information on the specific courses above, contact the Early College Administrator at that campus.

General

  • Every college and university has their own policies and procedures regarding how transfer credits may be applied to a student’s program requirements at their college.
  • If students are taking courses to transfer to another college, it is the student’s responsibility to confirm those courses will transfer to the intended college and program.
  • If students are taking courses to transfer to another college, the grades earned in those courses will appear on the student’s college transcript; however they will NOT be calculated into the student’s college GPA. 
  • If you have specific questions about how a course will transfer to another college, please contact the Admissions Office, Transfer Office, or Registrar/Office of Student Records at that college.

Transferring Courses Within the UMS

  • Students do not need to request official transcripts if transferring within the UMS. Transcripts are automatically available to UMS admissions and transfer staff (if students do not have a hold on their account).
  • Courses completed with a C- or higher, including P grades, will transfer from one UMS campus to another.
  • Some programs/majors within the UMS may require grades higher than a C- in order for courses to transfer.
  • When transferring courses, the grades earned will appear on the student’s transcript; however they will NOT be calculated into the student’s GPA. 
  • Use the Transfer Equivalency Search (External Site) in MaineStreet to see a full list of how courses from one UMS institution transfer to another on a course-for-course basis. You can view information about how the top 10 online courses transfer within the UMS below.
    • This search will only give you guidance about how courses may transfer into the UMS. It will NOT tell you how courses within the UMS may transfer to other colleges.
    • Due to ongoing curriculum development and program updates, course equivalencies are subject to change at any time.
    • This information is to be used as a guide only and is NOT a guarantee of credit transfer

Transferring Courses Outside the UMS

  • Students must send official transcripts from the UMS campus directly to the other college.
  • Some colleges may require a C grade or above in order for courses to transfer.
  • Some colleges may require that a student take all the courses in their program/major at their college even if the student has taken the equivalent course already at a UMS campus.
  • Some colleges may not accept Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses for transfer credit. A CE course is defined as a college course taken at your high school and taught by a college-approved high school teacher.
  • To learn more about the likelihood of the transferability of early college credit to a particular institution, check out this shared Credit Transfer Database (External Site) created by the University of Connecticut’s Early College Program. Over 900 post-secondary institutions across the country are included.

If you have general questions about transferring your courses, contact ecadvising@maine.edu.
