Kristin Ciampa, Academic Advisor

A meeting for our new advisees, in the first semester of attendance to answer any questions about USM you have and to prepare you for the Priority Registration process at USM

These meetings can take place from mid-March to the end of April and again from the middle of October until the end of November to review classes for the next semester and prepare for registration. Students should prepare a Wish List. Remember - I advise, but you decide!

Students with 53 or less credits meet with their professional advisor for this appointment. All Undeclared and Conditionally Admitted students meet with their professional advisor.

Students with 54 or more completed credits meet with their faculty advisor for this appointment. Not assigned or not sure? Contact your major department directly or check your Maine Street Student Center.

Students who are on academic notice or probation are automatically put on an Academic Development Plan. Students are expected to schedule and keep 3-4 meetings per semester with their Academic Advisor. We have many resources as well as study strategies and opportunities available to enhance your academic success throughout your time here at USM. We are here to help!
