*Newsletter – July 2*

*URock’s Holiday Hours*

URock will be closed all day on Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5. Stay
safe and enjoy the holiday!

*Beware! Rte #1 Construction!*

AS you have probably noticed, traffic around the Breakwater Building has
gotten worse with construction. The main water pipe will be replaced
between MacDonald’s and our building. Delayed traffic is expected. Our best
advice is for you to avoid the intersection at MacDonald’s. Take Old County
Road and approach URock from the north side of Rte #1 and enter the parking
lot from Fales Street. Please allow extra time. Thanks for your patience
with this process.

*Upcoming Proctored Testing*

If you need to take an exam other than during its regularly scheduled time,
you will need to schedule your test through the URock front office. Our
normal hours are Tuesdays at 8AM or Thursdays at 4PM. * Proctored testing
will occur on Wednesday, July 3 at 4:00PM.* A photo ID is required and, in
many cases, instructor permission. Sorry but Friday testing is not
available in the summer.

*Rockland Adult Ed College Transitions Program July 15 – 18*

This program running from 9:00AM to noon serves prospective university
students who want to attend URock in the fall but who want some “brush up”
help with math and language arts. Contact Rockland Adult Ed. for more info
at 594-9764.
