Get Ready to Register for the Spring Term

Preregistration opens next week.  Course schedules are available on the URock web site and in Maine Street.  Get ready now by putting courses on your Maine Street "Wish List". Then next week, convert your Wish List to a real registration!  This is also a good time to make an advising appointment to review your program requirements. 

Snow ?$#@!!

We do sometimes need to cancel classes due to poor weather.  You may call URock's answering machine, check the URock web site and monitor TV and radio stations for up-to-date info. Remember that our decisions are made locally.  If the Augusta campus closes, that may NOT necessarily mean we are closed.  And the reverse is true, too. 

Food Pantry Donations

Please bring in canned goods and non perishables for the Food Pantry.  Sadly, that big orange barrel in the lounge is looking quite empty! 

Pick Up Student Work!

Please pick up your returned papers and projects from the summer of 2009.  We will destroy any unretrieved work after November 30th. 

Watch Your Email

Student email is now the PRIMARY means of communication between the institution and the student.  Check your email!  Effective December 1st, all financial aid award information will be sent via email. 

Preparing for Your Internship in MHHS

Internship Coordinator for Natural and Social Sciences at UMA, Diane Carrick, will hold an info session at URock on Wed, Nov 18, at 11:30AM.  Please join us to talk about planning the details of your internship experience so that you get the most out of it.  Ms. Carrick will talk about creative approaches, courses and prerequisites and assessment of prior learning.  Please sign up at the front desk. 

Maya Angelou Tickets are now on sale for the Maya Angelou event at the Augusta Civic Center on April 26 at 7:00PM. Order tickets by phone at 877-UMA-1234.

Student Passes to the Farnsworth Student passes to the Farnsworth Art Museum are available from the URock front desk. Check out a free pass for 24 hours and enjoy this fabulous museum. 

The Buddy System

Looking for students and faculty to join other volunteers in Knox County for a "neighborhood watch" for the tough Maine winter months. As a volunteer, you will be assigned some people to call. You will not be expected to do whatever your neighbor needs doing, but rather to report that something needs to be done.  Join us and be a "buddy".  Training will be provided at URock.  Sign up at the URock front desk.
