The NROC College Readiness System, called EdReady, is a cloud-based application that personalizes the pathways to college readiness via referral to appropriate digital resources. By default, users are directed to resource components of the NROC Developmental Math program.

We do not support the following:

Internet Connection
A high-speed internet connection such as cable, satellite, or DSL is highly recommended. Most cellular hot spots are sufficient but may encounter usage spikes that make network access difficult.
Email Access
By default, students will need a valid email address to register an account on EdReady. This email will serve as their username when logging in. It is important that students:
-
Have the ability to receive messages from the @edready.org domain, or they will be unable to activate their account or receive password reset notifications.
- If they are using an email address provided by your institution, please ensure that emails from outside domains are accepted.
-
Can access this email account in the location where they'll be using EdReady.
- For example, if your students will be allowed to use their personal email account (such as gmail.com), it will be important that they can log into their email inbox at the location where they are expected to use EdReady.
These email-access requirements are only applicable when students are first setting up accounts and when resetting passwords. Students will not need further access to email in order to use EdReady on a day-to-day basis.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
NROC members with custom EdReady domains may request single sign-on (SSO) integration with an external learning management system (LMS), student information system (SIS), or other account management software. In such cases, the email access requirement can be waived.
Please discuss your preferences and requirements with NROC staff. Depending on the nature of the requested integration, additional set-up fees may be required and completion may take up to eight weeks.
We do not support SSO integration with GSuite.
