Radford University Carilion Campus Life

Before we kick off a new year, here's one last look at the posts that had everyone hitting like. These are the Top 5 ruccampuslife posts of 2025–2026, and honestly, they understood the assignment. Thanks for making every event, reel, and campus moment one to remember. We can't wait to see what the new year brings!

We are excited to announce that Radford University has partnered with the Roanoke Higher Education Center (RHEC) to provide proctored testing services for Radford students at RHEC who have been approved for testing accommodations.

Beginning this fall, students with accommodations may complete exams at the RHEC Educational Testing Center, located in Room 413. Testing appointments are coordinated through Student Affairs- Roanoke after students submit their request through Access CAS and faculty approve the request.

For questions about this process, please reach out to Charles Peppers at 540-831-1691 or [email protected].

We had a great time at our staff retreat on Friday and are so excited and energized to kick off the semester! Special thanks to and our Student Affairs colleagues at for hosting us and giving us an amazing tour!

Registration is now open for the RU Outdoors fall trips! These trips feature pick up at RUC. Sign up today and discover for yourself why we are rated the Top Adventure College! Register at https://services.recreation.radford.edu/

With classes starting again soon, we want to remind everyone about our accessibility services. Students requesting accommodations can apply through OneCampus by searching for CAS. If you have questions about applying for accommodations, please reach out to Charles Peppers at [email protected].
