CORNERSTONE PROGRAM

The Cornerstone Program is a federally-funded student support services program with the mission to facilitate success in college through amplified services for eligible selected students. To be eligible for the Cornerstone Program, students must be enrolled in a four-year UMA degree program, have academic need, and meet one of the following criteria: be of the first generation in their family to attend college (neither parent earned a bachelor’s degree) OR have a limited income OR have a disability. While student services are available to all UMA students, an enrolled Cornerstone student may receive amplified student services and more proactive support from the Cornerstone staff. In this way the Cornerstone Program provides added assistance to participants in achieving their educational goals. The program serves the Augusta and Bangor campuses. For more information, contact the Cornerstone Program at each campus.

COUNSELING SERVICES

Counseling and referral services are available at the Augusta and Bangor campuses.  These services include confidential, short-term personal counseling, crisis intervention, and referral services for concerns that may interfere with collegiate success. Personal development counseling and workshops are also available. Contact Counseling in Augusta, Counseling in Bangor.

The UMA catalog describes all courses required for degree programs; the current course guide describes all courses offered for the current semester at all UMA locations. Contact: Enrollment Services Center, Advising Center in Augusta, Admissions and Student Enrollment Services in Bangor, or center student services coordinator.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

UMA offers a variety of means by which students may receive credit for prior learning. These include CLEP, DANTES, and departmental challenge exams.

Contact: Academic and Career Advising Centers in Augusta and Bangor.

CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING/PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Under certain circumstances credit may be earned via the assessment of a portfolio documenting college-level learning acquired through prior work or volunteer experience. It is essential that students interested in this process verify in advance which courses may qualify for portfolio review and consult with the Augusta Advising staff to begin the process. All locations: Contact: Academic and Career Advising Centers in Augusta and Bangor.
