Maine Day
For the academic years 2006-2010, classes will be canceled on Maine Day with the exception of classes, including laboratories, which meet two or fewer times per week. (This policy was approved by the Faculty Senate in November, 2004, and will be reconsidered again in the Fall of 2008.)
Inclement Weather Policy
The policy of the University of Maine is to remain open for classes and other university functions the maximum number of scheduled days possible during the school year in order to avoid the necessity of make-up days on weekends and holidays. Therefore, as a rule the University of Maine will remain open. A serious parking emergency or a case of exceptionally serious road conditions in the Greater Bangor area will be the only reasons to delay opening for one or more hours to allow the plows to get ahead of the problem prior to the arrival of commuter students and staff, or to cancel classes.
Information on possible school closing and campus weather conditions may be obtained at any time by dialing 581-snow or, if calling long distance, 1-800-581-snow. Announcements of school closings or delays in opening the University will also be transmitted to local radio and television stations.
