how do I create an account?

Create a PCS account to start your journey.
There's something here for you!

 

 

To create a new account on the Royal Roads PCS Website, click Login at the top right.

You will be asked to confirm if you are a new student at Royal Roads University, or if you are already a student (maybe in a credit program) or a returning alumni. If you are an existing student or alumni, you may already have an account that can be linked to the PCS Student Portal. You have an option to Validate your existing account.

 

Create Account

If you are a new student or you are in the process of applying for a credit program and would like to register for PCS courses or programs, click the Create Account button.

Enter your information on the Student Account Creation form. Be sure to complete all required fields (indicated by *).

A few notes:

  • Each student must have a unique personal email address. We use your email address to verify your account and keep it safe.
  • Your date of birth is collected for verification/identification purposes and to prevent duplicate account creation.
  • Please provide your legal name in the name fields as this will be used for all official documents. You may also enter a preferred name for everyday communications.

 

You will receive an email asking you to verify the account request and create a password. Follow the instructions provided.

 

Validate Account

If you are an existing student or alumni and would like to register for PCS courses or programs, you may already have an account. Enter your username and password and click Continue.

 

The PCS Student Portal username is usually the first letter of your preferred name + your last name + @royalroads.ca and it may contain a number. For example, Bill Smith's username might be bsmith@royalroads.ca or b12smith@royalroads.ca.

If you are unable to validate your account click on the Forgot username or password link.

 

That’s it. You have an account. Need help logging in? See below.
