Advisement & Registration

You're almost ready to register for classes! However, before you register, you'll need to contact your program director for advisement on course selection. Please use the graduate program director list below to find contact information for your Program Director and set up a time to meet regarding advisement. Please note that some graduate program directors prefer that new graduate students in their respective programs register for courses at Orientation (held in late August for Fall term only). Please check with your program director for the most appropriate time to register.

After you have contacted your program director, you can register online for your courses.

Accessing Online Courses

Once you've registered for your course(s), it takes up to 2 days for you to be added to your course(s) in Bridges, our online course management system. All fully online courses at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ will be taught in Bridges. Faculty who teach directed seminars or traditional on-campus courses also have the option of using Bridges to supplement their courses. It is best to check Bridges at  and click on the My Sites tab to access your course(s) by term to determine if your faculty member is using this system. Also be aware that faculty can choose when to make their courses available to students. If they are still working on their courses, you may not see them listed when you log in. When in doubt, you can send your instructor an email to inquire when the course will be available to you. When you are granted access, you can access your course(s) by clicking on the link below. This link is always available by browsing to the main ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ website and clicking on "Current Students".

Be sure to check your Bridges access as soon as possible.  If you cannot access your course(s) after 2 days, contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@rwu.edu or (401) 254-5200.

Bridges is the learning management system that all online courses at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ use.  In addition, instructors for some campus-based courses may use Bridges as well, as it is a resource available to every class at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ.  You should access Bridges as soon as possible to ensure that your classes appear in the system.  However, please note that you will not be able to access your Bridges account until at least one day after you have registered for classes.  You can access the Bridges system below:
