We have posted information about Commencement 2011 including information on the local URock graduation celebration on May 7th at 4:00PM as well as the protocol for caps and gowns for the ceremony at the Civic Center. Please RSVP for the URock event on May 7th so we can plan our fancy hors d’oeuvres. Also, send digital photos to Dawn Rinehart for the slide show!

Our guest speaker at the URock celebration will be Meredith Hall, NY Times bestselling author of Without a Map. Copies of her book are available for lending through the URock front office. It’s a powerful read!

Creative Writings Published at URock!

The students in Jon Potters Creative Writing class have published a selection of short stories, Complex Actions and now an anthology of poetry, Life Loves the Liver of It. Copies are available at the front office and in the student lounge. Great work and terrific to see it all in book form!

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.

Financial Aid Update

If you applied for financial aid through the University of Maine at Augusta, your financial aid award for fall and spring is now posted in Maine Street. You may view and accept your aid package now. Please note that your aid has been awarded based on full time enrollment (4 courses or 12 credits). If you plan to attend half or three quarters time you may change your attendance under the student enrollment hyperlink. If you plan to attend in the summer, indicate your summer plans under student enrollment and then continue to monitor Maine Street for your summer aid posting.

If you qualify for work study, contact Althea to discuss opportunities.

If you have not yet completed your FAFSA for the next academic year, it is not too late. Please go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to file.
