Communication Methods

Rochester Christian University may communicate with students via several methods, including (but not limited to) U.S. Mail, phone, email, the RCU App, or social media platforms. Students should inform the university whenever their contact information changes. An official university email address is issued to each student upon admission to Rochester Christian University. This official email address usually takes the form of a person’s first initial and last name, followed by "@RCU.edu” (e.g., juniversity@RCU.edu).

Students are responsible for activating their RCU email accounts; this may be accomplished on the student portal at https://my.RCU.edu/. Students must check their email regularly to receive important messages and notifications. As a general guideline, students should check their RCU email at least once a day, as certain communications may be time-sensitive. Failure to read and respond to official Rochester Christian University communications sent to the student’s official RCU email address may result in disciplinary sanctions, depending on the nature of the communication. Failure to read and respond to these communications does not absolve the student from knowing and complying their contents.

Use of email for official communications with students complies with other applicable Rochester Christian University policies and business practices.
