Welcome to RRU!
We are all here to help you succeed in your studies by explaining the differences in the accounts you’ll use to access RRU resources.
...
As a student, you have one RRU computer account username. As you move through the stages of the application process, become a student, and then graduate, you will gain and lose access to resources depending on what is appropriate at any given time.
You may be required to enter your account username differently depending on the system you’re using.
Account | Applicant |
| Students in a credit program |
|---|---|---|---|
MyAdmin | An applicant (or a representing agent) creates a MyAdmin account to begin the application process. You log into this account using your personal email address and the password you set up. | Domestic students: Once you’ve submitted your application, we’ll send you an email saying we’ve created an Academic Account for you. You will use this Academic Account username to access resources, including those related to continuing your application if applicable. | Domestic students: Once you’ve accepted a seat in a credit program, we’ll send you an email letting you know that you now have an RRU email address, which you’ll keep for the duration of your credit program. International students: Once you’ve accepted a seat in a credit program, we’ll send you an email letting you know that we’ve created an Academic Account for you and ask you to set up a password. At the same time, we’ll let you know that you have an RRU email address, which you’ll keep for the duration of your credit program. |
Domestic Students
To apply to RRU for the first time, create a ‘MyAdmin’ account using a personal email address and a password of your choosing. You’ll use this account for the first portion of the application process.
Once the process has begun, you’ll receive a notice that we’ve created an Academic Account (computer account) for you and we’ll ask you to set up a password. You can use this account to access all resources as you continue the application process and begin your studies whether you’re taking non-credit courses through Professional and Continuing Studies or in your credit program. Although, this Academic Account username looks like an email address, it is not.
Once you have accepted an offer of a seat in a credit program, we’ll create an RRU email address for you and send you an email message letting you know we’ve done that. From now on, all official RRU communications will go to this email address. This also means that your UPN account now works across all systems. ⁉️
International Students
You or an agent will create your MyAdmin account. This is your only account unless you independently investigate non-credit courses through the Professional and Continuing Studies course offerings, and in that process, register for an Academic Account.
Once you have accepted an offer of a seat in a credit program, we’ll create send an email message letting you know we’ve created an Academic Account and RRU email address for you. We’ll send an email message letting you know we’ve done that and ask you to activate your account, which involves choosing a password. From now on, all official RRU communications will go to this email address.
Depending on your mail provider, this message may go into your junk folder. If you believe you should have received this message and cannot find it in your junk folders, please contact Computer Services using one of the methods at the bottom of this page. ⁉️
For both
Please note that 2 weeks after your scheduled convocation, your account account is closed, and you only have access to thePCS Student Portal.
