titleClick for bonus info: How did we come up with your username and email address.
  1. The username is created using the first initial of your Preferred Name + your last name.
    (IE. Student name Douglas Brown becomes dbrown.)

  2. If the username dbrown has been used previously, then the last name is preceded with a number.  Therefore the system will check the availability of d1brown.  If that is taken, it increments upward until the system finds an unused username (IE. d4brown d1brown).

Second the email address is generated based on the username.  

  1. Using the example above, Douglas Brown, username d4brown d1brown, will get an email address of Douglas.4Brown @ Royalroads.ca.

We cannot changed the name except in very specific circumstances. This includes legal name change or of the username is offensive. If the username is offensive, then the username is incremented by 1 number.
