Double Check Your Financial Aid

It is important that the credit hours you register for agree with what you
told financial aid you would take!  If you decide to increase or decrease
your credit hours, make sure to go into Maine Street and change the numbers
under the financial aid/student enrollment hyperlink.  Otherwise, your aid
may not move over to your student account.  If you need help, ask a URock
staffer.

Beware of Some Used Books!

If your textbook comes with a software package (like MyMathLab or MyCompLab)
then you should buy the text new.  These software packages are NOT
transferrable and you'll end up buying the software separately which can be
costly.

Logon for Printing

Students and faculty must now logon on with their ID's and passwords when
sending a printing job to a URock printer.  Everyone still prints FREE
thanks to the generous support of the URock Student Association.  However,
the university installed this feature on URock computers as an analysis
tool. Please print responsibly.
