Quick Solutions for Digital Learning Hurdles
⚠️ Cannot log in with TRU credentials
Cause: Incorrect username/password, browser issues, or account lockout.
Solution: First, try using a private browser window or clearing your browser's cache and cookies. If the problem persists, ensure you are using the correct format for your username (TRU [email protected] for students, [email protected] for employees). If you recently changed your TRU password, allow some time for it to sync. We know being locked out is stressful, so for immediate assistance, contact the IT Service Desk at 1-888-852-8533 or email [email protected].
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: User cannot recall their TRU password.
Solution: You can initiate a password reset through the official TRU IT portal. Look for specific password reset instructions linked from the Moodle login page or the TRU IT Services Portal. If you have a TRU ID but haven't registered for a course in two years, you will need to reset your password. The IT Service Desk can also guide you through this process.
⚠️ Courses not appearing
Cause: Course enrollment not yet active or technical delay.
Solution: Course shells and student enrollments are typically handled automatically by TRU. If your courses do not appear after logging in, particularly near the start of a semester, contact [email protected] with your course information. New users without network credentials can request a temporary Moodle profile by emailing this address.
