Planned In-Person Service Interruptions

RCSJ is excited to announce that we are preparing a new student experience for registration. This new system will launch soon, and while we make the transition from our old Portal and Self-Service systems, some areas will experience in-person service interruptions from June 9 through June 20 as employees attend training. Please note that during this time, all course registration services through the online systems are still available.

Lithium-ion battery-powered devices — like cell phones, laptops, toothbrushes, power tools, electric vehicles and scooters, are being deployed globally. Despite the many advantages of lithium-ion batteries, a significant safety drawback is the possibility that these batteries can overheat, catch fire, and cause explosions. Fires involving various lithium-ion battery products have increased at an alarming rate, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities. Even when the initial cause of a fire was not the lithium-ion powered device, the involvement of these batteries can increase the intensity and magnitude of the fire.
