Academic Advising and Student Support
Please join us in welcoming Chip Curry to URock. Chip is available along with URock Director, Deborah Meehan, for advising and registration, tutoring requests, special learning accommodations and other services to support your student success. Appointments can be made by calling the URock front office.
Buy Your Fall Textbooks
Most books for URock courses are available through the UMA Bookstore website. Students can order by phone or online. If you order your textbooks through the UMA bookstore by August 23, they will be delivered to URock by August 29 and you only pay $2 in shipping charges!
End of Summer Proctored Test Times
If you need to take a summer session exam other than during its regular class time, you will need to schedule your test through the URock front office. Our testing hours over the next few weeks will be Tuesday, Aug 20 & 27 at 8AM, or Thursdays, Aug 22 at 4:00 and Thurs., Aug 29 at 1:00PM. A photo ID is required and, in many cases, instructor permission.
Watch for Student Activities This Fall
The URock SA has been planning ahead for fall activities. Decisions have been made to sponsor student tickets to the Strand’s HD National Theater of London performance of Othello on September 26 as well as to sponsor URock student tickets to the Common Ground Fair on Saturday, September 21. Stay tuned for more details, or email URock SA President, Martin Faracci.
Registration Continues for Fall Term
Registration continues for fall 2013 classes but now either payment or proof of financial aid is due. Use the Distance Learning Class Search for the most comprehensive information about all UMS course offerings of all types at URock. Remember to check your financial aid award offer in Maine Street and adjust your credit hours based on your actual enrollment. Otherwise, your aid will not post to your student account. For help with course selection, please set up an advising time through the [log in to unmask]">URock office asap!
New Student Orientation
New student orientations for entering fall students will be held at URock. Students have the choice of Tuesday, August 27 at 9:30AM or Wednesday, August 28 at 4:30PM. Please preregister by calling URock at 596-6906. New students will hear tips from a panel of experienced students, sign up for a library and student ID card, review technologies, meet staff and make new friends. Attendance is highly recommended! As one new student said last fall, “This was a great use of my time to get a lot of good information very quickly.”
Fall Math Boot Camp
Five Town CSD Adult Education will be returning to URock this fall for another round of Math Boot Camp. This is a fast paced and excellent math refresher designed for those of you who wish to score into 100-level math on the Accuplacer Placement Test. You must be willing to do weekly homework and to take quizzes. There is no charge for the course but you must pay a book fee of $25. Math Boot Camp will run Fridays, 9AM – Noon from September 13 through December 20. Interested students should email Deb Meehan for more info and to register.
Special URock Hours the Week of August 26
During the semester break the week of August 26, URock will be open at the following times: Monday – Thursday 8AM – 5:30PM and Friday, 8AM to 4:00PM. Please note that URock staff will be at UMA on the morning of Friday, August 30 until 11AM. The office and the campus will be open but there will be limited services before 11AM.
Enjoy Our Picnic Tables by the Shore!
If the rain ever stops, we urge you to enjoy the view and cool breezes down at the shore at the URock picnic tables. There is a cigarette butt disposer by the tables. Please put all other trash in the dumpster.
