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. [image: divider] Beware of Some Used Books! If your textbook comes with a software package (like MyMathLab or MyCompLab) then you should buy the text new. These software packages are NOT transferrable and you'll end up buying the software separately which can be costly. [image: divider] Welcome Back Barbeque!
