Student Email
We are pleased to offer credit students at RDC a personal email account. The email account will generally be active within 24 hours of registration in courses.
The intent of the personal email is twofold; first, use it as you like to converse with family, friends or fellow students. Second, the Registrar's Office will begin to use this email exclusively as the official correspondence from our office. Official correspondence may include important information such as your Academic Standing at the end of a term, your admission into a new program, or to alert you to new or existing services that we offer.
We strongly encourage you to make use of your personal email account by logging in daily or by forwarding your RDC email account to an email account of your choice (e.g. Yahoo or Hotmail, etc). The resources listed below will help you to get your email account up and running so that you can begin to use it right away.
To log on to your RDC email account from inside or outside the College:
- Login to TheLoop
- Your User Name is your first initial and last name (e.g. Franklin Smith would be fsmith)
- If this format does not work for you, contact the RDC Services Desk at 403.342.3580 or email servicesdesk@rdc.ab.ca
- If this is the first time logging in, your password will be your date of birth in yymmdd format (e.g. May 5, 1986 is 860505)
- Once you are logged in, select the Email icon on the main menu bar
To forward your RDC email to another email account:
