As a part of Rush University’s preparedness plan, we have the tools and practices in place to keep you learning away from campus. At this time, education has transitioned from face-to-face to a virtual format, with exceptions for clinical rotations and labs. Here’s what you need to know for successful online learning at Rush.
Learning content for many classroom-based courses has been transitioned to Blackboard. To find your Blackboard course, you can log into the Rush University Portal or visit RULearning.rush.edu.

At New Student Orientation, you should have completed Blackboard training at the RULearning Orientation via LeapOnline. You can visit this site to refresh your Blackboard training.

Note: If your course is administered in another learning management system or video conferencing system (e.g., Webex), the synchronous class session format will be communicated by your instructor.
This will depend on your instructor. Online exams may be administered online via Blackboard, ExamSoft and/or Examity.
