Get Your Free Ticket to the Common Ground Fair!

The Student Association is purchasing student tickets to the Common Ground Fair on September 20, 21 & 22.  Please sign up for your free ticket through the URock front desk. You must order your ticket by Friday, September 13 and then collect it at URock on the 19th or 20th. Enjoy goat milking demonstrations, harnessing a horse, great food, even the worm cafe. This is a wonderful event for children and families. A favorite way to get to the train is by train!

See Othello/HD at the Strand

The URock SA is sponsoring free student tickets to the Strand’s HD National Theater of London performance of Othello on September 26. You have the choice of a 2:00PM or 7:00PM show. Sign up for your free ticket at the URock front desk no later than Friday, September 20. This will be a fantastic show!

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.

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.
