Summer Session II Starts Next Week

The second round of summer courses starts next week.  There are still many course openings.  If you are receiving financial aid for summer and wish to add a course to your summer schedule, you will need to go into Maine Street and adjust your summer credit hours under "Student Enrollment".  Anyone in the office can help you with this. 

Session II Math Lab Hours

White Board Math Tutoring is available for all UMA students enrolled in math classes.  It involves the student being at a computer, sharing the same screen (known as the white board) with an online math tutor to learn and practice new concepts.  For summer session II, tutoring hours will be: Mondays 10 - 1 and 2 - 6; Tuesdays 12 - 4; Wednesday 2 - 6; and, Thursday 2 - 4.  For more information, please contact the Math Lab at 1-877-862-1234 ext 3082 or 621-3082.

Logon for Printing

Students and faculty must now logon on with their ID's and passwords when sending a printing job to a URock printer.  Everyone still prints FREE thanks to the generous support of the URock Student Association.  However, the university installed this feature on URock computers as an analysis tool. Please print responsibly.

Want to Social Network Face to Face?

Mid-Coast Magnet will host another social event on July 1st at Farmer's Fare on Rte #90 in Rockport.  This is a great way to meet up with other folks in the mid-coast area face to face!   See more here.

Student Passes to the Farnsworth Museum

URock has free student passes available to the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland.  They are available to check out on a 24-hour basis.  The Farnsworth is a world class art museum with a full schedule of summer programming.  Visit their web site at http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org/ for a look at what's available. 

Summer Advising

Both Beverly and Deborah are available for summer advising.  Appointments should be made through the front office.  Take advantage of these quieter times to get your fall courses chosen.  Both Bev and Deb have some vacation times scheduled and they will be out of the office sometimes. August will be crazy with new students arriving so plan ahead and do not wait!  See them soon. 

Work Study and Volunteer Opportunities

Are you interested in a work study or volunteer job at URock this fall?  We rely heavily on our student workers to keep the place running smoothly.  If you are interested, please contact Althea Simeone at the front office.

New Student Orientations

Orientation programs this fall will be held at URock on Wed. Aug 25 at 10AM and on Thurs Aug 26 at 5PM.  New students are encouraged to enroll for one of these dates through the front office.  We'll cover: ID and library cards; tricks of student technologies; and, understanding your learning style. 

FAFSA! 

We all love to procrastinate but filing financial aid forms is one area where you must tow the line!  There's still time to file for the fall but the earlier, the better.  Let us know if you need help, or Joanne Richards is here every Tuesday from 9 - 1:00 for financial aid assistance.
