Canvas vs OSRS

Online Student Record System (OSRS)

Students at RLC have two online accounts, one for OSRS and one for Canvas. OSRS is used for retrieving information about your RLC account, such as grades, schedules, or an unofficial transcript. Your OSRS is created when you enroll. Your username and password for OSRS are the same ones you use to access Canvas. If you forget your OSRS password, call the help desk, 618-437-5321 ext. 1259 for assistance.

The OSRS login is located at www.rlc.edu/myrlc or from the "Online Access" menu on most RLC.edu pages.

Canvas

Canvas is RLC's online course management software suite. All RLC online courses, and several face-to-face courses will use Canvas to easily pass information from instructor to student. Your Canvas account will be created by RLC staff. Each student should have a maximum of one Canvas account. Call the help desk if you encounter any issues with this. Your Canvas account will remain the same regardless of how many semesters or how many online courses you enroll in at RLC. If you forget your Canvas password, call the help desk, 618-437-5321 ext. 1259 for assistance.

To access Canvas, visit canvas.rlc.edu or click "Canvas" in the "MyRLC" menu at the top of all RLC.edu pages.

Accessing the Learning Resource Center Off-Campus

In order to be able to access the Electronic Library away from the campus you will need to use your student credentials.

When you access the Electronic Library away from the campus you will use the same information you use to log onto your Canvas, Online Student Records, and Warrior Mail Accounts.

Your login name is your last name, first initial, and last 4 digits of your Warrior tag.

Your password is one that the computer-generated or the one that you set up.

You will be asked for this information when you click the links within the Electronic Library.

Simply "hover" over the menu name and a menu will appear, then click on the option you want.

For example, to check grades online, hover over "Online Access," the first menu option is "Online Student Records." Point to this option on the menu and click.
