What is Student Email (powered by Microsoft 365)?

Student Email (powered by Microsoft 365) is the College’s student email system. It is the official method of electronic communication between the College and students:

  • at all RRC Polytech campuses; Winnipeg and Regional Campuses
  • whether full‑time programs or part‑time Continuing Education courses
  • whether the courses are in person or by distance education

Why do I have to use my College student email account?

Student email is mandatory for all students. It is important to routinely and regularly check your academic student email account for important and time-sensitive correspondence from the College, Student Services, or from your instructors.

Student email communications may include such things as registration and class start date information. It is the first place to look when you are expecting notification and documentation from the College.

How do I access Student Email?

  1. Sign in to HUB
  2. In the Launchpad, under Applications, click Student Email.
  3. Enter your RRC Polytech username and password.

What is my Student Email address and name?

Your student email address combines your college-assigned username with the domain @academic.rrc.ca. It will look like this: username@academic.rrc.ca.

How do I obtain a Student Email?

Full-time students: RRC Polytech will set up your student email account after registering for your courses. Details will be in your registration letter and statement.
Part-time students: Your student email account will be created within 24-48 hours after registering for your course(s).

Does my Student Email access expire?

Your student mailbox and its contents will be deleted 365 days after you finish your last course. Please remember to save any key information, emails, or files to the cloud or an external drive since you will not have access to them after the 365 days. If you return to RRC Polytech, we will provide you a new mailbox.

IMPORTANT: Your student email account will be deleted immediately if you withdraw from a full-time program or all of your part-time courses.
