On August 13 the University of Maine System announced a number of operational and calendar changes to reduce the risk of COVID-19. Among the changes are the elimination of the fall and spring breaks for the upcoming academic year, a 20% reduction in room and board rates to account for the transition to remote instruction and the closure of residence halls at the Thanksgiving holiday, and travel limitations to slow or prevent the spread of infection.
The University of Maine System is also creating a dashboard to report on asymptomatic testing activity and results as part of the System’s three phased strategy to identify, track, and monitor infection. The dashboard can be found at Together.Maine.Edu.
