UMF registration for Winter and Spring Term courses open to the public

FARMINGTON, ME  (December 10, 2025)—Registration for the University of Maine at Farmington’s Winter Term and Spring Semester courses is now open to the public. Courses range from online to in-person or hybrid.

Both Winter and Spring sessions include courses that may be of particular interest to students of all ages including adult learners, individuals interested in returning to school for Degree Completion and high school students interested in the Early College Program where they can earn college credits and initiate a college transcript while still in high school.

Winter Term courses run from Dec. 29, 2025, to Jan. 16, 2026, and provide an accelerated course structure to help students concentrate their efforts. Online courses include Education, Psychology and Rehabilitation.

Spring Semester courses run from Jan. 21 to May 8, 2026, and provide an opportunity for in-depth study. Online courses include Business (including Cannabis Operations and Entrepreneurship), Education and Special Education, English, Geography and Psychology.

Also available online during the Spring Semester are two technology courses that provide exposure to the building blocks of computer coding and can result in a Data Analytics Certificate. These introductory courses include TEC 102 (SQL) and TEC 103 (Python) and require no prior programming knowledge. Students will work on several projects during the semester that teach them programming skills popular in math and data science applications and many others. Each two-credit asynchronous course is designed to be completed in four to fifteen weeks at the student’s own pace.

To see all the courses available, go to https://farmington.edu/winter-spring-classes/. To request a course, click on the “Request a Course” link and submit your course selection and contact information and a member of the UMF Graduate and Continuing Education office will assist you.
