Hey aska,
So I’m planning to take a year off from fall 2015 and resume fall 2016. Do you know if my rosi account will be affected in any way/deactivated in my absence? I noticed a ‘reactivate PIN’ option on rosi’s login page so I was wondering if I’d have to do that. Also, will my utorid/webmail and related services (such as MyRes student residence portal) be deactivated?
Thanks!

hey there,
nope, your ROSI account will be totally fine. it can take care of itself while you’re away. if you’re away for at least a full calendar year, you’ll have to re-register at your college registrar’s office so that you can enrol in courses and pay your fees, but that is a relatively painless process and shouldn’t take more than a day.
the ‘reactivate PIN’ option is for people who’ve forgotten their PIN and need to reset it so they can get into ROSI. it shouldn’t affect you at all – just make sure you don’t lose your student number/PIN information while you’re away. store that somewhere safe and save yourself a headache when you come back. (though keep in mind that ROSI will be switching to ACORN on June 8th, 2015, and you’ll only need you’re UTORID to log into that. so keep that safe, too).
your UTORID and webmail and MyRes should all stay exactly the same. if you have any problems, you can always contact the help desk at robarts – they’re pretty fab.
have a cool year off,
aska
