** In cases of emergency only, limited taxi
vouchers may be available for accessing medical, mental health or
dental care. UMA students should contact the Resident Director or the
Office of Student Life (https://www.uma.edu/student... )
for more information about this. UMA students are encouraged to utilize
the Kennebec Explorer, free with the UMA student ID, for routine and
follow-up healthcare appointments. UMA does not provide transportation
for these types of appointments.
** Any charges incurred for medical and healthcare appointments, including laboratory tests, x-rays, and other costs are the sole responsibility of the student.
In cases of Accidents or Illnesses
Students with specific medical issues should relay these issues to their Resident Manager when they initially move into the residence hall.
If you are ill or have an accident, you must report it to the Resident Manager or your Resident Assistant immediately. In the event that transport to a medical facility off campus is necessary, staff will call EMS. Residential Life Staff will not accompany or provide transportation to any student who is ill or injured.
Any injury on-campus must be reported to Campus Security (https://www.uma.edu/safety/ ),
or a member of the Residential Life Staff immediately. This will ensure
that the proper documentation is completed, as well as the catalyst for
the injury has been evaluated and/or corrected.
Resident students are responsible for reporting extremely contagious illnesses and diseases to Residential Staff so precautionary measures may be taken so other students are not infected. This may include relocating a resident or requiring a resident to leave campus for a period of time.
