*Beware of Add-Drop!*
Registration and add-drop continue for fall 2013 classes. Please check
individual campus add-drop dates and check with financial aid about any
consequences if you change your number of credit hours. For help with the
add-drop process, contact the URock office for an advising time, or ask for
staff assistance.
*More Rte 1 Construction Coming!*
George C. Hall projects will start work on Camden Street the week of
September 10. The work will begin north of the Breakwater near the Circle K
gas station and move south, one service line crossing at a time. This work
should not interrupt our building in any way, but the traffic issues will
begin. Traffic will be maintained at 2 lanes. The new water main from
MacDonalds to the front of the Breakwater Building should start around 9/11
and work from MacDonalds north, ending at our building. The primary
inconvenience in regards to access to and from our parking areas will occur
the week of 9/16. Sorry for the inconveniences. Please plan your travels
accordingly.
* Enjoy Our Picnic Tables by the Shore!*
If the rain ever stops, we urge you to enjoy the view and cool breezes down
at the shore at the URock picnic tables. There is a cigarette butt disposer
by the tables. Please put all other trash in the dumpster.
*URock Sweats and Tees*
We have just received a shipment of new URock sweatshirts, sweatpants,
T-shirts, long sleeved shirts and more. There’s lots of new colors and
designs. Check out the inventory.
