How to Activate your Account

Go to http://accounts.maine.edu and click Activate your Account.

Step 1:  Enter your Student ID number and account activation key (emailed to you after your application was submitted). You will need to enter these twice.

Step 2:  Choose a password that is at least eight characters, at least one number and a mix of both upper and lowercase letters.

Step 3:  Create 3 questions (with 3 answers to those questions) that can be used in the future if you need to reset your password. Note that the answers are case-sensitive.

Step 4:  Submit your answers.

Note: Your account will become activated within 24 hours, not immediately, so be sure to check back!

Once your account is activated, log in to Mainestreet: https://mainestreet.maine.edu  or if you have confirmed that you are planning to attend UMF, log in to  https://mycampus.umf.maine.edu.

You will log in using your username, typically your first name.last name (example. john.doe) and your new password. To keep your account active, log in regularly.

How to Reset a Forgotten Password

Don’t worry, this happens to the best of us.

Go to http://accounts.maine.edu and click Recover a Lost Password.

Step 1:  Enter your Student ID number (example, 0700000) and your Username (example, john.doe). Click Continue.

Step 2:  You will be asked to enter your student ID number again, but it pre-fills your username. You will then be asked to answer two security questions that you originally chose when you activated your account. Note that answers are case-sensitive.

Step 3:  Choose a NEW password you can easily remember.

Step 4:  Click Set Password.

Note: Once you reset your password, it may take a little time for the system to catch up and your new password to work — sometimes even overnight.

If you have trouble with any of this, please reach out to us and we’ll assist you.
