The University of Maine at Farmington will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit on March 4-7, 2012, by a team representing the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

UMF has been accredited by the Commission since 1958 and was last reviewed in 2002.

An evaluation team will visit UMF to gather evidence that the institution is in compliance with the Commission's Standards for Accreditation. The team will then recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the institution. Following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.

The public is invited to submit comments regarding UMF to:
