Looking for admissions requirements for Canadian students?
Required Documents
High School – High school transcripts can be emailed to umpi-admissions@maine.edu and must come from a school representative to be considered official (for Canadian transfer students, this requirement can be waived if 60 transferrable college credits have been earned). First year students coming directly from high school must provide official grades for all 4 years of high school to be considered for a Merit Award. Non-English transcripts must be translated.
College – Transcripts from schools outside of the University of Maine System must be sent to the Admissions Office. This can be done by mail or through the transcript service used by the particular institution. Non-English transcripts must be evaluated by a member of NACES or AICE services.
Essay (optional, except MLT), Recommendation Letters (optional; if Post-Bacc, need two recommendation letters), and Test Scores (optional) – We encourage you to consider providing these documents as they provide insight into you as an applicant. The Admissions Office awards several scholarships and these items can be used during the awarding process. SAT and ACT scores are optional but can be used to determine eligibility for our Merit Award.
