FAQ: How do I get an RIA Checkpoint ID?

Please follow these directions to obtain an RIA Checkpoint ID.

Please Note: Student IDs automatically expire on August 1st and January 1st.  If you need access beyond that point, you will need to reregister.

1. From the library homepage, please click on the A-Z Database List link in the Quick Links section.
2. Click on letter R from the alphabet list and then scroll down until you see "RIA Checkpoint This link opens in a new window".
3. Click on the link right below the database name that says REGISTER.
4. Fill out the registration page using your SNHU email address and submit. 
   • Please note that the registration page works best with Firefox or Chrome. 
   • No personal or work email addresses are allowed.  To validate the domain, all academic users must use their school email address.  If you don’t, your Checkpoint ID could be flagged as “outside abuse” and deleted at any time.
5. After you submit the registration, you will receive an email with your Checkpoint username along with a link to Checkpoint. 
   • The usernames are automatically generated by the system and cannot be changed.
   • The Checkpoint login instructions are typically sent out within an hour of the registration being submitted.  If you haven’t received it, check your junk and spam folders.
6. Go to Checkpoint using the link in the email you receive or go to https://checkpoint.riag.com This link opens in a new window and enter the username and password you’ve been provided.
   • Once you are logged in, you will be prompted to change your password then go through the new user set-up screens.
     • User names and passwords are not case sensitive.
     • Passwords must be 7-20 characters and contain at least one letter and one number.
7. Once the setup process is finished, you will be able to access Checkpoint from any computer, tablet, or Smartphone that has internet access.  Your device does not need to be connected to the University.
