FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington has been recognized as one of the most transfer-friendly colleges in the nation by Phi Theta Kappa, the official honor society for community colleges. UMF has been named to the honor society’s 2024 Transfer Honor Roll for excellence in the development and support of innovative pathways that help community college students easily transfer to the four-year university, according to a news release.
UMF created a highly personalized transfer student counseling process that focuses on the whole student, their academic and life experience, career and creative interests and personal goals, the news release stated.
The Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll is determined by 40 key metrics related to the support and success of transfer students, including college cost and financial aid, campus life for transfer, admission practices and bachelor’s degree completion.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
