General Questions

What is the MaineStreet PeopleSoft Portal?

Answer: It is the page that can be used as a pathway to get into any of the MaineStreet PeopleSoft systems, including Campus Solutions, HR, and Financials. It is commonly accessed by going to https://mainestreet.maine.edu or by clicking the MaineStreet icon in the myCampus Portal. It is also commonly linked to from other web pages or documentation. Note that this is different from the myCampus Portal pages that each of the Universities in the system use as their portal page for accessing campus information and all of the many tools and services UMS provides. This is a screenshot of the MaineStreet PeopleSoft portal:

What is changing?

Answer: The MaineStreet PeopleSoft Portal page is being retired as of May 31, 2023, and will no longer be available. However, a new page has been developed that will help you find the MaineStreet related links that you may have previously used.

Why is this changing?

Answer: Due to the technology behind the MaineStreet PeopleSoft Portal being out of date as well as upcoming changes related to Repaving MaineStreet, it was decided that this page was no longer necessary. The myCampus Portal and the new replacement page will accommodate all of the use cases for the MaineStreet PeopleSoft Portal.

How do I get to this new page?

Answer: You will be automatically redirected to the new page if you attempt to go to the old MaineStreet Portal site.

Can I bookmark this new page?

Answer: Yes, you can bookmark this new page. You will also be automatically redirected if you attempt to go to the old MaineStreet Portal site.
