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.)

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.

not too late. Please go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to file.
