information on the local URock graduation celebration on May 7th
at 4:00PM as well as the protocol for caps and gowns for theÂ ceremony at
the Civic Center. *Please RSVP* *for the URock event* on May 7th so we can
plan our fancy hors d’oeuvres. Also, send digital photos to Dawn Rinehart
<[log in to unmask]>for the slide show!

Our guest speaker at the URock celebration will be Meredith Hall, NY Times
bestselling author of *Without a Map* <http://meredithhall.org/>. Copies of
her book are available for lending through the URock front office. It’s a
powerful read!

*Creative Writings Published at URock!*

The students in Jon Potters Creative Writing class have published a
selection of short stories, *Complex Actions** *and now an anthology of
poetry*, **Life Loves the Liver of It*. Copies are available at the front
office and in the student lounge. Great work and terrific to see it all in
book form!

*Summer and Fall Registration Open for All Campuses*

Click here
<http://learn.maine.edu/rockland/courses-and-programs/summer-fall-2011-registration-information/>for
URock course listings for summer and fall. Please review course information
online as we will not print a lot of course guides (budget savings!). This
is a good time to schedule an advising appointment before classes fill. For
summer registration you must either make a payment or have financial aid
posted and confirmed by staff. Fall registration *is* available through
self-service. (See notes on financial aid below as to how to get your summer
aid posted.)

*URock Apparel*

Now you can order URock apparel
online<https://sites.google.com/site/kdkshop/urock>with our logo and
the clothes (T-shirts, sweats, etc.) will be hand
delivered to you at URock.

*Financial Aid Update*

If you applied for financial aid through the University of Maine at Augusta,
your financial aid award for fall and spring is now posted in Maine
Street<https://peportal.maine.edu/psp/PAPRD89/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=PAPP_GUEST>.
You may view and accept your aid package now. Please note that your aid has
been awarded based on full time enrollment (4 courses or 12 credits). If you
plan to attend half or three quarters time you may change your attendance
under the student enrollment hyperlink. If you plan to attend in the summer,
indicate your summer plans under student enrollment and then continue to
monitor Maine Street for your summer aid posting.

If you qualify for work study, contact Althea <[log in to unmask]> to
discuss opportunities.

If you have not yet completed your FAFSA for the next academic year, it is
not too late. Please go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to file.
