An update on your ShowRCA profile
Jump to
In September 2023, we contacted all alumni who graduated between 2007–2019 with the following information.
As a former student at the RCA, we are writing to you regarding your ShowRCA profile.
Currently, you can browse ShowRCA profiles for graduates between 2007–2019 at www.rca.ac.uk/showcase/show-rca
These profiles sit on an old website that needs to be decommissioned by the end of November 2023, as it no longer meets the legal accessibility standards for public sector websites, and as an out-of-date site, is vulnerable to web security issues.
We know this content is important to you, so the RCA has investigated many potential solutions to make sure these pages are not lost. We will therefore be creating a new static but searchable archive of these ShowRCA profiles. This is the most effective long-term solution to ensure continued public access to view this material, within legal and cyber security requirements.
Your profile will still be available to the public, and via Google Search. For more information on how this will work, please see the FAQs at the end of this email.
What you need to do:
As a graduating student during these years, you likely have a live webpage at www.rca.ac.uk/showcase/show-rca/
If you want to remove any details from your page before we archive it, please email your request to [email protected] by 31 October 2023. Include details of the changes you'd like made.
Once the ShowRCA profiles have been archived and the remainder of the legacy website has been decommissioned at the end of November 2023, there will be no further opportunities to make changes to your profile.
If you're happy for your ShowRCA profile to be archived as it is, there's no action needed on your part.
Thank you.
