The BC Centre for Open Learning (BCCOL) has been renamed the Administrative Services Building (AB) to better reflect its role as the new home for several administrative services.

Campus signage, office placards and wayfinding will be updated in the coming months. Open Learning (OL) remains an important part of TRU and will be relocating to a temporary modular starting in January. Students can continue to connect with OL staff through the same channels.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this transition!

TRU is partnering with Interior Health (IH) on their radon awareness project for post-secondary institutions. This participation is an extension of IH’s project that began with daycares in 2017 and public-school districts in 2022.

Starting Monday, Jan. 6, TRU’s Risk and Safety Services will deploy radon detectors in buildings across the Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses, including student residences. This initiative, led by Interior Health, is part of TRU’s commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

Radon detectors—small, puck-style devices—will be placed in specific areas, particularly on ground and basement floors, and will remain in place for several months to collect data.

If you notice a detector, please do not disturb it. Thank you for helping us keep TRU a safe and healthy place to live and learn. For more details or updates, email safety@tru.ca.

Financial Services is now open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday to Friday. Email financehelp@tru.ca if you need assistance outside these hours.

Starting Sept. 19, you will notice the interface where you make tuition payments has changed. Now, you are one click away from the PMT (Pay My Tuition) website.

• Payment methods: PMT still supports all the same online payment methods you’re used to, and now includes Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit.
• Authorized users: You can now add someone (like a parent) to pay your tuition for you.
• International students: Good news! PMT lets you pay through a Canadian institution.

Take action against the opioid crisis: free Naloxone kits and training at TRU’s Kamloops campus

In response to the ongoing opioid crisis—including the toxic drug supply, which affects not only those with addiction but anyone using substances—TRU continues to expand its overdose prevention efforts. Unintentional overdose remains the leading preventable cause of death in B.C., highlighting the critical need for widespread awareness and access to life-saving interventions like naloxone.

Kamloops campus

The Wellness Centre in Old Main (OM 1479) on Kamloops campus provides free naloxone kits that can temporarily reverse the effects of an overdose. Training sessions, which take just 15-20 minutes, are available. Once trained, you can also take home a naloxone kit.

Protect yourself and your peers—visit the Wellness Centre to get trained and equipped.
