How do I sign up for R.O.C.K. Camp Service?
Registration will open May 5th for the 2015 program. Click on the registration link in the navigation bar. You will need to have your student username and password and your student ID number.
When I click on the registration button it asks me for my username and password, what is this?
This is asking for your University of Arkansas Username and Password. This is the same information that you used to register for New Student Orientation, Academic classes, and to pay your student account. The username should be the letters and number that appear before the ampersat symbol in your student email account. For example: The username for “rockcamp@uark.edu” would be “rockcamp”. Please note: some computers require that you enter your whole email address (e.g. rockcamp@uark.edu) instead of just your username. If you are still having trouble with your username and password, please visit http://its.uark.edu/uark_account.html.
