Each graduate may bring guests (up to 5) though beware this is not really a “kid friendly” event. Catering by Cafe Miranda and Sweet Sensations. Please RSVP at the front office.

URock is preparing a slide show for the graduation celebration on May 5th. In addition, we have a bulletin board outside the main office devoted to graduation info. Grads, please send Dawn Rinehart your photos electronically so you may be included.

Bus leaves for Boston from URock at 7AM sharp! Bus leaves Quincy Market in Boston at 7:00PM. Seating is currently sold out but we are taking names for the wait list!
Internships!
We continue to get a good deal of interest from local businesses about college interns. Some of the requests have been converted into job descriptions which are posted on the large bulletin board outside room #414. Internships are a great way to get real world work experience and boost your resume. Some of these internships are paying positions.
Accept Your Financial Aid!
Financial aid awards should be showing on Maine Street. Please go in and accept your package. Remember the initial award offer will be for fall 2012 and spring 2013. When you accept the award you will be prompted to indicate your plans for summer. Students taking summer courses will receive an adjusted award within a day or two of accepting the original award. You will need posted financial aid (or payment) to register for summer classes.
UMA Summer and Fall Registration
UMS campuses have either opened summer and fall registration, or returning students can now make wish lists in Maine Street. Course listings are now available for both summer and fall on the URock web site and through the Distance Learning Class Search.
All seven campuses have different registration dates for summer and fall terms. Check the URock site for registration date information.
Please note that UMA registration for returning students requires payment or proof of financial aid when you register for summer. Fall does not require payment at this time so you may use self-service in Maine Street.
Claim Your Student Work!
As the term winds down please collect your graded papers and projects in the front office. Thanks!
Check Lost and Found! The URock Lost and Found is quite hefty. Please claim your belongings!
