R.O.C.K. CAMP FAQS

You might have questions about the R.O.C.K. Camp experience and we’re here to help! Below are the answers to some of most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

If you can’t find what you need, connect with us through our Contact Form!

How do I sign up for R.O.C.K. Camp?

Registration will open at 10am (CST) on May 9, 2023. Click on the Camp Registrationlink in the top navigation bar. Registration for all our camps are through UARK Microsoft Forms. You will need to have your student username and password and your student ID number. 

Can I participate in multiple R.O.C.K. Camp programs?

a. Yes (as long as you are eligible to sign up for the camp, you can register for as many as you’d like!) 

b. Please double check the program descriptions before applying to make sure that you are eligible (major/college/program affiliation). 

    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.
