Dear Student:

The new myRogue system is still under development, and your login to BlackBoard and computer labs (and eventually myRogue) has been changed. You have a new login and a new temporary password.

Here's the new way to log in to Blackboard or computer labs. Read carefully!

Your user ID is your first and last name plus the last 4 digits of your student ID, followed by @student.roguecc.edu.
Input them as follows:

We're almost halfway through spring term, so you've been "online only" for a while now. We know it can be a struggle. You're juggling homework, family, finances and technology issues — and probably feeling a little cooped up.

But, you know what? The end of the term is just six weeks away. You CAN do this! Please reach out and let us know how to support you.

Student Life has a new Facebook page where you can connect with other students and clubs.

Hi RCC student,

Heya, how are things? We thought we'd check in and see how everything's been going for you the past couple weeks. We miss seeing everyone on campus. You want to meet up for coffee on Friday? More on that in a minute.

First, we want to make sure you know about a couple places where you can stay in the loop while we're all staying at home:

Dear RCC student,

Dr. Cathy Kemper-PelleI want to personally thank you for enrolling at RCC for spring term 2020. These are challenging times, and your decision to continue your education is worth celebrating.

Our course delivery methods look different for many of you due to the governor’s executive order limiting face-to-face gatherings to reduce the spread of coronavirus. However, we are confident that we can help you achieve your educational goals this term in a totally online environment.

Welcome to spring term from your RCC Bookstore! There's been a lot of change lately — really A LOT, right? — and I want to thank you for your patience as we adjust. I know there have been some challenges, and we're working hard to improve the process of purchasing texts through our site.

April 3, 2020

For spring term only, RCC is offering students the option to select a pass/fail grade instead of a letter grade for some courses. This is in response to the recent changes in course delivery in many of the college’s classes, along with added external pressure and potential stress on our students.

March 20, 2020

Because your health and safety are our priority — and in response to the executive order issued this week by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown — all RCC campuses and learning centers will be closed except to limited staff beginning Saturday, March 21. We will deliver all instruction and services remotely for the Spring 2020 Term.

March 19, 2020

As you may already know, ALL RCC COURSES WILL NOW BE TAUGHT ONLINE for the entire Spring 2020 term. This is being done for the health and safety of our college community, and to do our best to help students continue towards their educational goals. Please read all of the following information carefully. It is very important.

In order to protect the health and well-being or our campus communities during the coronavirus pandemic, Rogue Community College President Cathy Kemper-Pelle this afternoon announced significant changes to the college's spring schedule. While college services will remain open, spring break for students will be extended by one week, beginning March 23. Spring term will begin April 6.

RCC Prepares All Campuses and Centers for Comprehensive Response to Coronavirus

On February 28, 2020, Rogue Community College joined a statewide higher education task force in preparing should the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread to Oregon. On Friday, March 6, RCC leadership met with the COVID-19 higher education task force for a conference call to discuss appropriate institutional responses.  

Communication to Students

The Governor of Oregon has declared a state of emergency because of the coronavirus (COVID-19); however, colleges are encouraged by the Oregon Department of Health to remain open and support a healthy teaching and learning environment.

You are an important member of the college community. We assure you we are taking steps to keep you safe on campus: extra cleaning of high-touch areas, hand sanitizing stations, providing tissues and encouraging hand washing.
