* The summer schedule of onsites, videoconference, ITV and online classes is now available on our web site, www.learn.maine.edu/rockland.  We will also have a summer course booklet available at the office next week.  Registration for summer opens on March 10th for degree students and March 13 for non-degree students.  For the first time, there will be a period of preregistration for summer classes which means you may register with no money down.  Remember that if you want financial aid for the summer term, you need to notify the financial aid office so that they will award you.  

* Remember that by March 3rd, all degree students and others taking 12+ credit hours must comply with the new Maine State immunization laws.  If you are worried about being in compliance, check in with the office staff for help.  

See you all next week!
