    • 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. ⁉️

    • 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. ⁉️
