Good news!

Because of recent upgrade to the Student Management System in PCS and simultaneous changes in how we manage identities at RRU, we can now support a single student identity across RRU.

What that means for you

If you wish to take courses through PCS, you must first have an Academic Account.

There is no change to the application process for people wishing to register in a credit program, where an Academic Account has always been required.

	We’re glad you’re interested in enrolling in an RRU course! You’ll need to create an Academic Account before you can enroll in a non-credit course. When asked for a personal email address: do not use the email address you have on file in CAMP. That is reserved for your work-self. It is best if you don’t take this opportunity to change the email address you have on file in CAMP as doing so will cause complications and delays do not use your work RRU email address to create an Academic Account. If you do not have another email address to use for this, it will be necessary to create one. We recommend creating a Gmail account. If you cannot find or do not know the email address on file in CAMP, contact the Helpdesk for assistance.
