Maine Street Has Been Upgraded!
The Maine Street Student Information System has been upgraded to a new version and you will notice some changes in navigation which are intended to be easier. In addition, from your Student Center Home Page you will also see a link to “degree progress report”. This is a very valuable tool that helps you track your progress in meeting your degree requirements.
Summer Session II Starts July 5th
There is still time to register for summer session II classes which begin the week of July 5th. You will need either financial aid or payment when you register for most classes. Please note that if you have a Mon/Wed class that meets in session II, your make up class may be held on Friday, July 8th. Check your class schedule.
Work Study and Volunteer Job Openings
There are still a few unstaffed jobs for work study students, or for those who wish to volunteer at URock. Please contact Althea Simeone to discuss these opportunities.
URock Communications – Web, Newsletter, Facebook?
We do our best to get the word out – through this electronic newsletter, on the web site and on Facebook. But students still seem to miss very important information. We’d love to hear from you about the best ways to communicate with you. Send Deborah Meehan an email with any suggestions.
Geek2Geek Newsletter
The Computer Information Systems Program at UMA produces a periodic newsletter. Check out the summer edition.
Earnings by Major and Subject Area
The Chronicle of Higher Education just published this interesting interactive graph about the value of a college degree by college major. Run your cursor over the bars in the graph for a list of occupations.
Bulletin Board for Internships and Job Openings
The bulletin board across from the URock front office has up to date listings of companies looking for interns as well as those seeking part-time and full-time employees. We try to keep the listings current so keep checking for new material.
Farnsworth Museum Passes Available
Summertime is wonderful at the Farnsworth Museum. Remember that URock offers student passes to the museum which may be checked out for 24 hours. Browse this world class museum or visit the Olsen House. Enjoy!
Summer Make-Up Testing
Over the summer term make-up and proctored tests will be administered as follows: Tuesdays at 8:00AM and Thursdays at 4:00PM. Remember to call the URock office to schedule your test and to bring some form of identification to the test.
URock Summer Hours
Office Hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00AM – 7:00PM and Fridays 8:00AM – 4:00PM
Building Hours: Monday – Thursday 7:00AM – 9:45PM and Fridays 7:00AM – 4:00PM
Closed Saturdays and Sundays Fall Preregistration Continues
You may still sign up for fall classes with no payment due at this time. This is a great way to save your seat in your favorite classes while waiting for financial aid, or tuition reimbursement, or state vouchers to take effect.
URock Apparel
You can order URock apparel online throughout the summer with our logo and the clothes (T-shirts, sweats, etc.) will be hand delivered to you at URock.
New Financial Aid Rules – Changes in Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal financial aid regulations are changing related to satisfactory academic progress (SAP) which allows you to continue to receive financial aid. The new policy discontinues the probationary period and any student who is found to be out of compliance will have their future financial aid suspended or not awarded. UMA’s Financial Aid Office will contact students via message center and written correspondence will be sent to students who are out of federal compliance. If you are affected because your SAP has dropped below an acceptable level, you have 14 days from notification to appeal this decision if you feel you have extenuating circumstances that impacted your ability to meet SAP. Pay attention to all e-mails, message center notifications, and letters sent to you. Take responsibility to be informed. If you are worried talk with Bev or Deb.
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.
