Double Check Financial Aid

It is important that the credit hours you register for agree with what you told financial aid you would take!  If you decide to increase or decrease your credit hours, make sure to go into Maine Street and change the numbers under the financial aid/student enrollment hyperlink.  Otherwise, your aid may not move over to your student account.  If you need help, ask a URock staffer.

Information Session on USM's Leadership and Organization Studies

USM faculty will be on hand throughout this information session to describe career pathways for students interested in putting their talents into leadership and organization. The information session will be held on August 11 from 4:00 - 5:30PM.  Please indicate your interest at the front desk. 

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.

Enjoy the Maine Lobster Festival

Sometimes we get so busy with school and work and other commitments that we forget to enjoy some great events in our own backyard.  The Maine Lobster Festival will be held in Rockland from August 4 through August 8th.  Wednesday, August 4th is "Hometown Day" so enjoy the festival all day at with no admission charge . 

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.
