Accessing SRU D2L
For anyone who wants to access the D2L of Slippery Rock University, there are a total of three ways that you can try. Below is the explanation of each method.
The first one is MySRU.sru.edu. This one is the public D2L site that is approved by the university. In order to sign in, you will have to use the first part of your SRU email address and your Rockmail password. You will be brought into the MySRU portal, the one that will show you the registration and degree audit tools. If you want to access the D2L, please click on the D2L logo that can be found in the left center page of the screen.
Here is a similar way as the one above. The first thing that you need to do is to go to the official website of Slippery Rock University at www.sru.edu. You will be taken to its homepage. In the upper right hand corner, you will be able to see a little logo that says My SRU. Please click that one and you will be directed to a login page where you need to enter your username and your password. For those who have no idea, the username is your SRU email address minus the SRU.edu while the password is your password that you have previously created. After entering these two, it is time for you to click the sign in button.
The second one is d2l.sru.edu. This one is the alternative login site that can be used if the first one does not work. While the previous one takes you into the MySRU portal and requires you to click a second time on the D2L logo, this one will take you into the learning environment and your list of courses. To be able to log in here, it is needed for you to use your complete SRU email address and your Rockmail password. Bookmarking this site is recommended as it will take you to the D2L with just a couple of clicks.
The last one is sru.desire2learn.com/login. This one is known as the back door entrance. If you want to log in this site, you will have to use your complete SRU email address and your Employee Self Service password. This one is able to be used for those the non-credit visitors and guests who need to access D2L or Desire2Learn. Basically, if you are the one without a Rockmail account. In addition, those who were issued a temporary username and password are also allowed to use this login site.
What should you do if you cannot sign in to D2L? The password for Desire2Learn or D2L is the same one as the one that is used for MySRU, Rockmail, and logging on to the computers on campus. The faculty or the students might change one password, and they forget about the fact that it will change across all four systems mentioned before. The common issue happens when the Rockmail password of the student has expired and has been reset or changed, and they do not realize that D2L and MySRU also use the same password.
If you forget your password or if you feel like someone knows your password and you feel unsafe and want to reset your password, the best thing to do is to call x4357 to get help. Some people might think the help line at x4220 can reset or view their D2L, MySRU or Rockmail password, but it is not true. The help line at x4220 is able to be used by the non-credit visitors or guests with a temporary D2L password.
