Greetings! * VACATION: Remember that next week is a vacation week for many. However, due to this outrageous winter, there are many make-up classes scheduled. Check in with the front office if you are not certain about your schedule for next week. * BOSTON BUS TRIP: On Friday, April 11, UMA and your local SA is sponsoring a bus trip to Boston.. Visit the Science Museum, New England Aquarium, Quincy Market.and more Boston sites. The cost is just $10 per student and $40 per guest. The bus leaves from UMA at 7:00AM and will return there. Carpooling from the coast with other URock friends to the bus is possible. Check with Beverly for sign up. Space is limited. * GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS: UMA graduation announcements are on sale at the UMA Bookstore in Augusta. The cost is $1.31 each with tax. URock students should contact the UMA Bookstore at 621-3467 or online at http://www.umabookstore.com/ to purchase them. * EARLY, EARLY REGISTRATION FOR FALL: Please remember that you may do an early registration starting now for UMA classes. It will be processed next week. This will give you a jump on registration which officially opens for UMA degree students on 3/31 and non-degree on 4/07. If you are planning to take a course from another campus (online or ITV), that will involve a multi-campus form and those will not be processed until April. The multi-campus forms are available for pick-up at the office. The full fall listing is available on our website at www.learn.uma.edu. * MAINE STREET TRAINING: Staff will demonstrate and do some quick student training in Maine Street (the new student information system effective for fall) on Tuesday, April 1st at 1:00PM and Wednesday, April 2nd at 4:00PM. Maine Street is going to allow students to be much more self-sufficient about the registration process. Please stop into the computer lab and have a look so you can take advantage of the new system. *SUMMER: Summer registration continues with no payment due. Don't wait!
