Summer and Fall Registration Open for All Campuses
Click here for URock course listings for summer and fall. Please review course information online as we will not print a lot of course guides (budget savings!). This is a good time to schedule an advising appointment before classes fill. For summer registration you must either make a payment or have financial aid posted and confirmed by staff. Fall registration is available through self-service. (See notes on financial aid below as to how to get your summer aid posted.)
URock Apparel
Now you can order URock apparel online with our logo and the clothes (T-shirts, sweats, etc.) will be hand delivered to you at URock.
