*Where’s My Coffee?*

This year’s Student Association has decided to spend less money on coffee
and more money on activities. Therefore, coffee cards have been
discontinued and a Keurig Coffee Machine (good stuff!) has been purchased
and installed. Keurig’s “K-cups” are available for just $1 in the vending
machine and there are lots of flavors. Or, you can bring your own K-cup
from home and brew it here at URock. Also, check out the expanded selection
of drinks and snacks in the new machines.

*Proctored Test Times*

If you need to take an exam other than during its regular class time, you
will need to schedule your test through the URock front office. Our testing
hours through the fall will be Tuesdays 8:00 – 11:00AM and Fridays, 4:00 –
7:00PM. A photo ID is required and, in many cases, instructor permission.

*Watch for Other Student Activities This Fall*

The URock SA is planning more fall activities. Stay tuned for more details,
or email URock SA President, Martin Faracci <[log in to unmask]>.

*Beware of Add-Drop!*

Registration and add-drop continue for fall 2013 classes. Please check
individual campus add-drop dates and check with financial aid about any
consequences if you change your number of credit hours. For help with the
add-drop process, contact the URock office for an advising time, or ask for
staff assistance.

*More Rte 1 Construction!*

George C. Hall projects is working on Camden Street and the main water
pipe. The work will be north of the Breakwater near the Circle K gas
station and run south, one service line crossing at a time. This work
should not interrupt our building in any way, but the traffic issues can be
disruptive. Traffic will be maintained at 2 lanes. The primary
inconvenience in regards to access to and from our parking areas will occur
the week of 9/16. Sorry for the inconveniences. Please plan your travels
accordingly.

*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.

*URock Sweats and Tees*

We have just received a shipment of new URock sweatshirts, sweatpants,
T-shirts, long sleeved shirts and more. There’s lots of new colors and
designs. Check out the inventory.
