College Goal Sunday at URock
The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) will host College Goal Sunday at URock on Sunday, January 30th at 2:00PM. This is a great way to walk through the FAFSA form for 2011 -2012 and qualify for the most aid. Bring your 2010 taxes, or estimate. Click here for more information.
Add – Drop Period
Please pay special attention to add-drop policies as they have financial repercussions! Please stay tuned because add-drop at UMA may be extended due to weather cancellations.
Multi-Campus Students: Tuition, fees and other educational costs are approved annually for each of the seven campuses of the University of Maine System by the Board of Trustees. UMA students enrolled in classes hosted by other University of Maine campuses should consult that campus for information pertaining to billing and refund policies, amounts, and dates. URock staff can help you to access those policies.
New Test Taking Policy – Bring an ID!
URock will be checking ID’s for those taking make-up tests during our proctored test times on Tuesdays at 8:00AM and Fridays at 4:00PM.
URock Goes Bowling!
The Student Association will sponsor a URock Bowling Party on Friday, January 21 from 6:00 – 8:00PM at Oakland Park Lanes on Route 1 in Rockport. The event and shoe rental are free to UMA students and their guests but the limit is 45 so please sign up in the URock front office. Bring money for snacks, air hockey, video games, etc. because that is extra.
Mental Health Counseling Available Spring Term
Richard Chalmers, a graduate student in mental health counseling at USM will begin a one semester internship which includes offering individual counseling to members of the URock community. This service is free of charge. If you need support with adjusting to school, depression, anxiety, problems in relationships or would just like someone to talk to, please contact either Bev or Deb for a referral.
Snow Cancellations!
It’s the time of year when we need to worry about storms and school closings. If we need to make any cancellations, there are many ways for you to get the news. The URock web site will always have the most up to date information. You can also call the office answering machine at 596-6906, check Village Soup online or TV channels 6, 8 and 13. We try to make decisions two hours before class start times. If the cancellation is during the day, please try to get your information online or through TV channels rather than call the URock office. Our phone lines get jammed up fast and cancellations are a frantic time in the office.
Maine NEW Leadership Summer Conference
Maine NEW Leadership is a six-day, residential training program, offered at no charge each June to undergraduate college women. Established in response to the reality that women are significantly under-represented in legislatures, both nationally and in Maine, NEW Leadership encourages and teaches women how to become effective leaders. Research suggests that women are less likely than men to consider themselves qualified to run for office or to be encouraged to run for office. Maine NEW Leadership provides role models and mentors who are having a positive impact on women’s political interest.
This year’s conference will be held June 2 – 7 at the University of Maine at Orono. For more information and application materials, see Bev or Deb at URock.
Interested in the Camden Conference?
The Camden Conference is an annual weekend conference which focuses on world affairs. This year’s topic is “The Challenges of Asia” and it will take place February 18 – 20 at the Camden Opera House with live broadcast links to the Strand. Although we can support students to attend the full conference program, the Student Association is interested in sponsoring (paying for) a few students to attend some of the broadcasts at the Strand. If you are interested in this opportunity please contact SA President, Kim Grinnell and she will help you.
