Rockland Main Street Seeks URock Volunteers
Every year a few students help out at the Festival Of Lights Parade on Saturday, November 26th at 6:00PM. Volunteers organize floats for the parade and manage the night’s festivities. This can be a lot of fun! URock volunteers will be rewarded with a gift of a URock fleece beanie hat. If interested, please contact Deb Meehan or Loraine at Rockland Main Street. Thanks for helping to make this community event a great success.
Donate Some Non-Perishable Food Items
There is a shopping basket from Hannaford set up in the front lobby. Please bring in some non-perishable food items as a donation for the Food Pantry. When you donate, enter the drawing to win a gift certificate to Hannaford. Thank you!

Snow%$#@!!
If bad weather forces us to cancel classes, you will find the most up to date information on the URock web site as well as on TV channels 6, 8 and 13 plus Village Soup online. You can also call the URock office for an updated recorded message. Generally, classes are canceled two hours before their start times.
Financial Aid Reminders
Please remember to adjust your enrollment in Maine Street if you are changing the number of credit hours from what was expected of you for the spring term. Also for those of you who filed a SAP appeal for fall, remember that you are under contract with financial aid to meet certain academic standards. If you will not meet those, there is yet another appeal process but you must demonstrate extraordinary circumstances.
URock Student Association – Learn All About It!
The Board of the URock Student Association is always looking for new members to help with the planning and sponsoring of activities and events to build the URock community. This is a great way to make new friends and offer your leadership skills. Check the web site for contact information and links to the SA’s meeting minutes.
Room #409 for Studying, Creating, Skype, Practicing Powerpoints and more!
The classroom set-up in room #409 is intended to be a friendly environment for students who are working on projects together. Equipped with a flat screen monitor, computer, wireless keyboard, Skype, white boards and comfy furniture, the room can be configured to meet your needs. Students can schedule use of room #409 themselves through this link.
New URock Apparel Catalog
