Student Registration
TRU STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS & INFORMATION.
Your first step is to register as a TRU Student. This may be with the TRU Chancellor directly at assigned registration opportunities or online. You will then receive your Educational Passport. If you register online you can download the Passport and print it directly from the website.
Or you can pick up your passport at the next Kingdom event with the TRU Chancellor. Your first Passport from the TRU Chancellor is free; after that, a replacement will cost you $1.
It is your responsibility to retain and maintain your Passport. If you lose your Passport before the TRU Chancellor has verified your classes, you will not receive credit for the un-verified classes. To have your classes verified: please contact the TRU Chancellor by email (see Contacts & Links), or at a Kingdom event during assigned registration times.
When you attend a TRU-qualified class, you should fill out the Class Date, Class Name, and Teacher sections in your Passport. This is the student’s responsibility; the teacher does not need to write on the Passport, but they may. PLEASE PRINT LEGIBLY! (To be a TRU-qualified class, the teacher must have registered the class with the TRU Chancellor, via the Trimaris website or directly, at least one week prior to teaching the class.) Classes that are listed and offered on the official schedule of Gulf Wars and Pennsic Wars may be applied towards your track completion without the teacher registration.
There are four levels of TRU recognition: Novice, Journeyman, Artificer, and Masterwork. Six TRU-qualified (and verified) classes are required to complete each level. As each level is completed, the TRU Chancellor will certify your advancement. When all four levels are completed, the TRU Chancellor will certify your Diploma! Once you have completed a level and it has been certified by the TRU Chancellor, you will receive a cast pewter token as a symbol of your completion.
