Adjust and Renew Financial Aid
If the number of credit hours you are planning for the spring 2012 semester is different than the number of hours you reported when you accepted your financial aid award, please adjust this in MaineStreet. Go to: student center- accept/decline award- student enrollment.
Get Ready for the Next Financial Aid Cycle
You will need to reapply for financial Aid for Summer & Fall 2012 terms and Spring 2013 after the New Year. We advise that you prepare your 2011 federal income taxes and then file your FAFSA for the 2012-2013 academic year just as early as you can. The earlier you apply, the more money you may be awarded!
Storm Cancellations
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 start times.
