Student: I cannot access Library Resources

Due to licensing restrictions, only active full credit students have access to library resources (Professional and Continuing Studies students do not have library access).

A student can be considered inactive for one of the following reasons:

  • Prospective student, not yet registered
  • New student, and it is more than 60 days before the first course begins
  • If a student has 90 days between when their last course finishes and the next course starts (Library access is removed till 60 days before next course starts)
  • If student is placed on a financial hold
  • If a Student has graduated, their Library access is removedĀ 30 days after the end date of your final course

OR

14 days afterĀ after your degree has been conferred** (whichever comes first)

Students can contactĀ Computer ServicesĀ and they can check in AD if the student is in the @RRU-Students-DL or has been added to rru.students.denyaccess.

This procedure is as per the Student Services Access Policy onĀ this page. Ā If you have questions about this policy you canĀ contact the LibraryĀ to discuss it further.


**the date that your degree will be conferred will be provided to you upon completion of your program
