SAMRU recognizes that the ongoing cybersecurity incident at Mount Royal University has created uncertainty for many students. We understand that incidents involving personal information and access to university systems can be concerning, and we want students to know that their interests remain our priority.

The University continues to investigate the incident and is communicating directly with individuals who may have been affected. As the investigation progresses, students should continue to rely on official communications from Mount Royal University for confirmed information, notifications, and updates regarding the scope of the incident and any actions they may need to take.

Throughout this process, SAMRU is actively monitoring developments and maintaining communication with the University to understand how students may be impacted. Our role is to ensure that student perspectives are considered and that students receive the support they need as information becomes available.

If the incident affects your academic experience, access to services, or creates other challenges during your studies, SAMRU is here to help. Our Student Advocacy Resource Centre (SARC) provides confidential support and can assist students in understanding University policies, navigating academic concerns, and accessing appropriate resources.

If you receive a notification from the University indicating that you may have been affected, we encourage you to carefully review the information provided and follow any recommended steps. The University's guidance may include actions to help protect your personal information or explain any additional supports available to you.

Cybersecurity incidents are becoming increasingly common across the post-secondary sector and beyond. While investigations of this nature can take time, students deserve clear communication, appropriate support, and transparency throughout the process. SAMRU will continue to advocate for those principles while respecting the integrity of the University's ongoing investigation.

We recognize that students may have questions that extend beyond the technical aspects of the incident. If there are broader impacts on students or if additional advocacy is needed, SAMRU will work to raise student concerns with the University and seek appropriate solutions.

As more verified information becomes available, we will continue to keep students informed where appropriate. In the meantime, we encourage students to monitor their University email and refer to Mount Royal University's official cybersecurity updates and FAQs for the most current information.
