*Newsletter – December 22*

*URock Hours Over the Semester Break*

URock will be open from 8:00AM to 5:00PM (Mon – Fri) from December 20
through January 7. We will also be closed from 1:00PM on December 23 through
Friday, December 24 and closed also on Friday, December 31.

*Book Orders Delivered to URock*

When you order your textbooks through the UMA
Bookstore<http://www.umabookstore.com/>you may choose Rockland as a
shipping location.  This saves in your
shipping costs!  However, to qualify for a URock delivery you must order by
December 30th.  Books will arrive at URock on January 5th.

*Make -Ups*

Do you still need to take an exam?  Please call the URock office to
schedule something special as all official make-up times for fall exams are
over.

*New Test Taking Policy – Bring an ID!*

URock will be checking ID’s for those taking make-up tests during our
proctored test times on Tuesdays at 8:00AM and Fridays at 4:00PM.

*Spring Registration is Ongoing*

Registration for the spring term is open. You can self-register in Maine
Street. Check here<http://learn.maine.edu/rockland/highlights/registration-for-spring-2011-is-just-around-the-corner/>for
*all *campus registration dates. And, check
here<http://learn.maine.edu/rockland/files/2010/07/Spring-2011-UROCK-Early-In-House-Guide-1018101.pdf>for
the spring schedule at URock. Schedule an advising appointment for
help
in choosing the best courses to meet your needs. If you are unable to see an
advisor right away, look at your program checksheet and self-register in
Maine Street. Then when you meet with an advisor, you can double check your
choices.

*Advising Appointments*

Beverly and Deborah see as many students as time allows. *All appointments
are booked through the front office staff.* If you need to cancel, call the
office as you would with any other professional appointment. We have a good
number of no shows. This is frustrating when other students are waiting long
periods to get an appointment scheduled.

*Mental Health Counseling Available Spring Term*

Richard Chalmers, a graduate student in mental health counseling at USM will
begin a one semester internship which includes offering individual
counseling to members of the URock community. This service is free of
charge. If you need support with adjusting to school, depression, anxiety,
problems in relationships or would just like someone to talk to,
please *contact
either Bev or Deb for a referral*. Richard is currently a graduate student
at USM, has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in psychology and has studied art at
the Rhode Island School of Design. He has worked extensively with mens’
groups including Maine Coast Men. His background includes several meditation
retreats at the Insight Meditation Society and Morgan Bay Zendo. Richard
believes in an active, creative, problem solving approach to counseling and
is looking forward to working at URock. Richard is ready to take referrals
over the semester break so be in touch with us.

*Snow Cancellations!*

It’s the time of year when we need to worry about storms and school
closings. If we need to make any cancellations, there are many ways for you
to get the news. The URock web site <http://www.learn.maine.edu/rockland>will
always have the most up to date information. You can also call the office
answering machine at 596-6906, check Village Soup online or TV channels 6, 8
and 13. We try to make decisions two hours before class start times. If the
cancellation is during the day, please try to get your information online or
through TV channels rather than call the URock office. Our phone lines get
jammed up fast and cancellations are a frantic time in the office.
