My Email Account
Your e-mail account is created at the same time as your Computer Account and is typically 'Firstname.Lastname@royalroads.ca' although, there are exceptions (like firstname.3lastname@royalroads.ca). You will be notified of your e-mail account in the same message you receive regarding your Computer Account.
This is the e-mail address that students, faculty and associate faculty and staff at Royal Roads will use to correspond with you.
Note for Learners:
When your RRU e-mail address is created, e-mail forwarding is automatically set to on. This means any e-mail sent to your RRU e-mail address will automatically be forwarded to the personal e-mail address you provided during registration. Once you have received your RRU account information, you can change the forwarding on your RRU email to suit your needs (please see below).
There are a few ways you can use your RRU e-mail address:
