Title II, Higher Education Act

For 2019-2020, the institution pass rate for UMF was 100% reinforcing the excellence of UMF’s programs and the quality of its graduates.

FERPA
The University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) hereby informs students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.

Professional Licensure and Certification Notice
Students who are pursuing degrees leading to application for professional licensure or certification, and/or who will be participating in clinical placements, internships, or practica through their degree program should be aware that their host facility may require a criminal background check, fingerprinting, or drug screening. In such situations, each student is responsible for obtaining and paying for the background check or other screening process and for delivering required documentation to the facility. Although the university will make reasonable efforts to place admitted students in field experiences and internships, it will be up to the host facility to determine whether a student will be allowed to work at that facility. Students should further be aware that a criminal record may jeopardize licensure by the state certification body. Students may consult the certification body corresponding to their intended occupation for more details. Successful completion of a program of study at the University of Maine at Farmington does not guarantee licensure, certification, or employment in the relevant occupation. See https://www.maine.edu/licensure/programs/university-of-maine-at-farmington/
Professional Licensure Disclosure Statement
Eligibility for licensure and/or certification may involve more than successful degree completion. The University of Maine at Farmington cannot confirm that its courses or degree programs meet the requirements for professional licensure outside of the State of Maine. The University of Maine of Farmington strongly encourages prospective and current students to contact the appropriate or applicable licensing board(s) in states in which they may wish to pursue licensure, prior to applying for or enrolling in any program of study leading to a license.
