Webmail access - Once you have MFA setup, you can now log into RRU Webmail at https://outlook.office.com/. (You will also use your long format of your Academic Account (d1brown@royalroads.ca) to log in to this account, not your email address)

Note

We are in the process of migrating everyone from an on-premises email server to Microsoft Online. A re-direct will automatically be displayed at https://webmail.royalroads.ca when you are migrated. Once you are migrated the new webmail address will be https://outlook.office.com.

Please note that the max file size your RRU email account can send/receive is 20mb uncompressed regardless of you access your email. Also note that PDF/JPG/ZIP documents are compressed so anything over 12-15mb (total) of these file types will probably be too big.

titleClick for Bonus Info: Is your personal email address a Hotmail, Outlook, MSN or Live.ca address?

One thing I recommend. We are aware that some RRU email going to Hotmail, Outlook, MSN and Live.ca accounts, including RRU passphrase reset and academic account activation emails, are going directly into SPAM folders or not arriving at all for staff/faculty and students that are using Microsoft email accounts like Live.ca, Outlook.com and Hotmail.com among others. If you are concerned you are missing an email, please check your Junk Email folders. 

We also strongly suggest that you add “royalroads.ca ” domain to the Safe Sender's list in your account. 

Please see this page for instructions.

SharePoint access

RRU uses two SharePoint sites (Thesis Manager SharePoint and Dissertation Manager SharePoint) to track a student’s milestone document approvals. In your role, you will be required to assist the student in completing their dissertation/thesis and provide your approval of their milestone documents. To do that you will be notified from the SharePoint site when the document is ready for review. Then to review and approve the document you will need to log into the SharePoint site (link will be provided).
