GETTING STARTED CAMPUSPORTAL Go to www.rocky.edu > Student Life > Student Tools > CampusPortal for access to your personal, internal account for information about your:

• Academics • Finances • Financial Aid • Documents • Class Schedule

If you are taking any online courses, go to www.rocky.edu > Student Life > Student Tools > Moodle for instructions on how to access your classes.

CAMPUS COMPASS COURSE This course is comprised of 12 weekly, fall semester class sessions beginning during new student orientation and is designed to help you navigate the transition to college from high school or a work experience. Its mission is to contribute positively to your success as an RMC student. The course incorporates individual and group assignments focused on helping you adjust to your

first-year experience and preparing you for your time at Rocky Mountain College. The course is co-instructed by staff members and trained student peer instructors who will offer support and guidance derived from their personal experiences at RMC. To contact your peer instructor over the summer, email peerinstructor@rocky.edu. Campus Compass RMC Service Day will be held on Saturday, August 22nd. Through this event, you have a chance to get to know a local organization through service, as well as spend time with your Campus Compass classmates and instructors. All students will be required to attend this day of community service with their Campus Compass section.

COMMON READ The Common Read Program is based on a shared reading experience. Through this and associated events, we develop community, encourage intellectual engagement, and promote connections among disciplines. This will be required reading for all ENG 118, 119, and 120 classes during Fall Semester.

2015 Common Read Selection: Badluck Way by Bryce Andrews “One could find no better guide than Bryce Andrews for a journey along the shifting border between the wild and the tame; a daunting frontier filled with unsettling truths, blood and beauty. His wonderfully crafted prose is lean, yet rich.... Andrews is a keen-eyed ecologist, a skilled ranch hand and, best of all, a self-examining student of life.... In Badluck Way, Andrews shuns both cowboy romanticism and environmentalist sermonizing and illuminates the inescapable conflict between human economic imperatives and the compulsions of animal instinct. His book is a gripping tale of the West, raw and real.” - David Horsey, Los Angeles Times

STUDENT LIFE RESIDENCE LIFE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY LIVING Roommate Assignments Residence life and admissions staff members work together to create respectful, supportive roommate relationships. Be as honest and informative as possible when completing your roommate information form. Residence hall and roommate assignments will be mailed July 15. We encourage you to use the contact information provided in your assignment letter to reach out to your roommate(s) prior to the start of the semester.

Living with a roommate(s) Being away from home and living with another person can be challenging and exciting. It is important you come to campus with an open mind and realistic expectations of the roommate relationship. While it is very common roommates become friends, the most important thing is to have a respectful roommate relationship. For more information about how to prepare for living with roommates, visit www.rocky.edu > Student Life > Residence Life > Current Students > Living with Roommates. Roommate contracts are completed in the first two weeks of the fall semester for all residence hall rooms. These contracts give you a chance to get to know your roommate(s) better and set some ground rules for living together. Staff members refer back to the contracts to assist in resolving any conflicts that may arise. It is helpful to arrive to campus prepared for these roommate discussions. Spend some time over the summer thinking about

what you expect from a roommate, things you will want to share and things you may want to keep for yourself, and what your vices may be that will be important to discuss.

RESIDENCE HALL TECHNOLOGY Cable TV is not provided in the residence hall rooms, but can be purchased through an RMC approved vendor. Once you arrive to campus, please see the Office of Residence Life to arrange for cable if desired. The cable provider will bill you monthly. Each residence hall room is equipped with one telephone line. Voicemail can be setup by dialing 1300 and following the automated instructions. Your initial passcode is 1111. Phones are not provided. Individual residence hall rooms are equipped with Internet. After arriving to campus, the student must activate the Internet connection. If difficulties arise, contact the academic computing office at 406.657.1161 or in Eaton Hall 2A.

STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES

The Office of International Programs at Rocky Mountain College promotes intercultural understanding through the support of enrolled students seeking to study abroad, as well as support of current, incoming, and prospective international students. Students come from all over the world to study at RMC because we focus on both academic and personal development. Study abroad opens your mind to many new possibilities, adventures, and ideas. It’s fairly easy to work studying abroad into your RMC academic program. Most credits you earn while away can be transferred and counted toward your degree, and financial aid is also available for study abroad. You could go to Australia for the summer, Argentina for fall semester, spend spring semester in France, or take off to Spain for a year. There are limitless possibilities. For more information, contact international@rocky.edu or 406.657.1107

RMC Exchange Programs Rocky Mountain College has exchange agreements with schools in Sweden, Finland, Japan, Northern Ireland, the U.K., and Jordan to study a variety of subjects, including language and culture. We also work closely with the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP). The biggest advantage to studying through exchange programs is that you may use your academic scholarships on these experiences. Study Abroad Programs RMC works with students to find the right study abroad program for their interest. Students can participate in programs that are not exchanges. These are programs in which the student will still need to apply and they may use their financial aid, but instead of using their merit scholarship from RMC, they will apply for a scholarship directly from the program. Some of the programs students can use are:

• International Studies Abroad - www.studiesabroad.com • Interstudy - www.interstudy.org • Globalinks Learning Abroad - www.globalinksabroad.com • Semester At Sea - www.semesteratsea.org • Go Abroad - www.goabroad.com • Study Abroad with AIFS - www.aifsabroad.com

Faculty Led Programs Students can enroll in courses that have a component of travel, led by faculty for credit. An environmental science professor has taken groups to the Galapagos Islands, the Canadian Arctic, and Costa Rica; a communications studies professor has taken students to Ireland; business students have traveled to China; a philosophy professor has traveled to Israel; and an art professor has taken students to Italy.
