A planned campus-wide power shutdown will take place from Saturday, May 23 at 10 p.m. to Sunday, May 24 at 10 a.m. to support critical infrastructure work for the Low-Carbon District Energy System (LCDES).

Most campus buildings will be without operating power during this time and will be locked at 8 p.m. Signage will be posted at affected buildings.

The following buildings will remain with power:

• Residences
• Early Childhood Education Centre (ECEC)
• The Reach
• Continuing Studies (CS)
• Research and Emergency Management (REM)
• Campus Activity Centre (CAC)

Emergency power and Wi-Fi

• A larger generator will be in place at the Campus Activity Centre (CAC) to support full building operations. There will be no impact to events taking place in the CAC.
• Some buildings with fridge and freezer requirements, including the greenhouses, Culinary Arts and the Lepin Building, will have emergency power only.
• Blue emergency phones will remain operational, and security services are not expected to be affected.
• Campus Wi-Fi will remain available only in buildings that have power during the shutdown.

TRU is launching an improved online registration system for Open Learning courses on Tuesday, May 12. Registration will temporarily be unavailable from 8 to 11 a.m. while we transition to the new system.

The registration process will remain familiar, including add-to-cart and checkout, with a few updates to improve your experience. These include a refreshed design, debit payment option and a new online learning portal where you can view your Open Learning courses, receipts and profile details. Your current enrolment and course credits are not affected.

Any items currently in your cart will not carry over. Please complete your Open Learning course registration today or reselect courses after the launch.

When accessing the new system for the first time, you will log in with your TRU ID and complete a one-time online learning profile.

Get ahead or catch-up this summer. Course registration is open for courses starting in June. Visit tru.ca/registration for more information.

The premium lottery runs until May 12 and the reserved lottery runs until May 29 on the TRU-Concord Parking portal. See the Parking Lottery page for timelines, terms and instructions.

Effective Sept. 1, 2026, parking rates at TRU will increase for daily, monthly, semester and yearly permits.

• The adjustment reflects a 2.2 per cent increase based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Moving forward, annual parking rate adjustments will be tied to the previous year’s CPI.
• This adjustment supports parking lot maintenance and improvements, snow removal, sustainability initiatives and TRU’s financial health.
• New rates will apply to all parking categories, including Visitor, Economy, General, Premium and Reserved parking.

We encourage students to review their parking needs in advance, especially before participating in the 2026/27 parking lottery which begins mid- to late April.

For full details on new rates and parking options, email parking@tru.ca or visit the Frequently Asked Questions web page.

TRU is installing privacy-focused occupancy sensors in several campus buildings to better understand how classrooms, study spaces and service areas are used throughout the day.

The sensors help the university plan and schedule spaces more effectively. They do not record audio or video and cannot identify individuals. The technology only produces anonymous estimates of how busy a space is.
