Spring 2021
Message to UMaine students â January 16
Welcome back!
As we are about to begin our spring semester, we wanted to share some very important information regarding COVID testing for our campus. Starting on Tuesday, January 19th, the next round of required testing for students will begin. Please note there have been significant changes this semester and all details can be found below. We will be testing weekly all residential students as well as any off-campus students who have in-person classes. Weekly testing will be required and attendance tracked. Those not in compliance will be referred to the Office for Community Standards, Rights and Responsibilities as a conduct code violation. As cases continue to rise in our state, it is more important than ever to test, practice social distancing, carefully and frequently wash your hands, and wear a mask whenever and wherever you are in public places or with other people.

Health and safety update for university community members
Welcome to this weekâs Friday Futurecast
These updates are archived on the UMaine Spring â21 website. The University of Maine at Machias also has a Spring â21 website.
Message from President Joan Ferrini-Mundy:
Dear members of the UMaine and UMM communities,
Welcome to the start of a new year and our ramp-up to the spring â21 semester. For all members of our communities, the Black Bears Care and Clippers Care principles and pacts remain in effect. Whether you are on or off campus, in Maine or beyond, our guidance for protecting yourself and others, and the communities where we learn, work and live, is as relevant and important as it was last fall.
Dear members of the University of Maine and University of Maine at Machias communities,
Greetings from Orono, where the campus is peaceful and beautiful with a light covering of snow. I hope that everyone â the staff and faculty who kept learning going this past semester, the students who took responsibility for continuing their educational journeys and for taking care of our community, and the community members and supporters who committed to helping all of us through this semester â will be able now to relax, safely, and enjoy this holiday season and break.
In his On Track for Maine message earlier today, Chancellor Dannel Malloy noted the importance of returning to in-person and on-site teaching, learning and research at our public universities. And doing it safely, together.
