Fall Registration Continues
You may still sign up for fall classes with no payment due through tomorrow, Aug 12. 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. Staring Monday, August 15, payment, or a financial aid award will be required at the time of registration.
Steps to Successful Online Learning
If you are taking your first online class this fall, please go to our new website page for great tips and strategies to be successful. These helpful hints will make the semester start up much smoother.
Academic Advising
It is a busy time of year and URock is looking at more growth! If you cannot make an advising appointment that you have scheduled please call the office. It may be possible to switch the appointment to a phone appointment and get your questions answered, rather than to reschedule. There are many tricks to being successful academically. Check this link for more great tips and hints and answers to lots of basic questions.
Lots of Options in URock’s Room #409
With new colors, new furniture, a dedicated computer with wireless keyboard and Skype, URock’s room #409 has lots of new uses. It’s a great space for study groups, tutoring, Skyping with other students across the state, or preparing a Powerpoint in large scale format. The room may be reserved using Google calendar.
UMA Announces Convocation Theme
This year’s keynote speaker at UMA’s Convocation event will be Wonona Duke, an internationally renowned activist working on sustainable development and environmental justice. Ms. LaDuke is featured in the book, “Talking About a Revolution”. This book has been chosen by the Colloquium Committee as the work to be integrated into UMA’s curriculum this year.
Convocation will be held on the UMA campus on Friday, September 23 from 2:30 – 4:00pm.
NO Smoking Within 100 Feet
Please adhere to the policy of no smoking within 100 feet of the entrances to the Breakwater Building. Take advantage of the two new picnic tables on the waterfront and move away from the building when smoking. Thanks for your cooperation.
Be Wise & Lock Your Cars
Although URock and its surrounding areas are safe environments, there is an increase of reported property thefts in the mid-coast. Therefore, we advise that you lock your cars in the parking lot for added safety.
WWC Programming: Introduction to Self Employment
On Thursday, August 18th from 10AM – 12 noon, Women, Work & Community will host an introductory workshop for those deciding whether self-employment is the right choice.

The workshop is free and will be held on the 2nd floor at the Career Center. Call WWC at 596-2616 to register.
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.
Make-Up Testing for Summer Courses
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.
