Until recently, members of the RRU workforce who accessed courses through Professional and Continuing Studies (PCS) used their work username and password to register and sign in.
Good news!
Because of recent simultaneous changes to the Student Management System in PCS and how we manage identities at RRU, we can now support a proper student identity across RRU.
What that means for you
If you wish to take courses through PCS, you must first have an Academic Account.

I don’t already have an Academic Account. How do I get one?
If you plan to enroll in PCS courses
...
Visit the PCS website and click on ‘Student Portal’ at the top of the screen, then:
if you’ve never had an Academic Account before - click on the ‘Create Account’ button to get started
When creating an Academic Account, you’ll need to provide a personal email address that is different than the personal email address related to your work computer account (in CAMP)
You must not use your RRU email address as your personal address for your Academic Account
If you don’t have an alternate email address to use, it will be necessary to create one to use with your Academic Account
It is best if you don’t take this opportunity to change your email address in CAMP because there will be a delay while the system syncs in the background and you will not be able to create your Academic Account until that’s done.
if you have had an Academic Account before, choose to ‘Login’ instead then enter your credentials to access the student portal. Here’s more information about this scenario.
There is no need to wait until the last minute! You could create an Academic Account right now so that you’re ready to go when you are inspired to enroll in a course.
If you plan to apply for a credit program
...
Start the application process normally, by (obtaining your supervisor’s & HR’s approval, if required, then) visiting MyAdmin, and completing the application. An Academic Account will be created for you during the application process.
