| Welcome to the University of Maine at Augusta!We are pleased that you have chosen to join us as you continue your academic pursuits. UMA is a learning community dedicated to serving students through both traditional and innovative programs and academic delivery systems. You will meet faculty and staff who have your best interests at heart. At UMA, channels of communication between students, faculty, and staff have always been open. Whether you are a first-time student or are returning to the University for further study, this handbook has been designed to provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding policies, procedures, activities, and services which apply to you as a member of our student body. The attempt has been made to provide answers to those questions most commonly asked by students. Understandably, no handbook can pretend to answer all questions that may arise during the course of a year. For this reason, I encourage you to contact Kathy Dexter, Dean of Students, or other staff members for any assistance you may need. I encourage you to make the most of your time at UMA. In addition to our excellent academic programs, there are many opportunities to get involved with civic engagement projects, student government activities or particular interest groups such as the UMA Honors Program. I look forward to meeting you. On behalf of the entire UMA community, please accept my best wishes for your continued success and thank you for choosing to invest in your future through a UMA degree or program. Cordially, Allyson Hughes Handley |
