Academics

The Academics section

The Academics section of your Student Center shows a summary of your academic status and has all the links that you need to manage all aspects of your academic information.

The Academics section has five quick-links that take you to the most commonly used academic activities:

• Search – to search for classes. Using this link, you can search for and select classes to add to your Shopping Cart.
  • See the How to Search for Classes job aid for details.
  • The Search for Classes button on the right links to the same page.
• Shopping Cart – to build a class schedule that you can validate or “test-drive” before enrollment. When all the classes validate, you can proceed to enroll in them.
  • This is the easiest way to enroll in classes.
  • See the How to Enroll (with validation) and How to Enroll from My Classes Offered job aids for details.
• Enroll – another way to build your class schedule and enroll in classes directly without validating the schedule and requisites beforehand. For students returning this year, this will look similar to the RAMSS system that you used last year. See the following job aids for details:
  • How to Enroll (without validation)
  • How to Drop a Class
  • How to Swap a Class
• My Academics – to go to the My Academics page where you will find more links that you can use to view your academic record. These are described in more detail below.
• Grades/Standing – to view your grades standing and term GPA on the same page.

The other academic… drop-down has a more complete list of academic activities.

• Click an option and then click   to go to it. 

The schedule of classes that you are enrolled in is shown for the current term. For a weekly display of your classes and scheduled times, click the weekly schedule► link beneath it.

On the right is a collection of key information regarding your academics, including:

• Holds – a list of any outstanding fees and/or other obligations to Ryerson, monitory or otherwise. These holds could prevent you from successfully enrolling in a class.
• Checklist – notification that you have applied to graduate.
• Enrollment Dates – a link to get the key dates for enrollment.
• Exams – a link to more details on the exam schedule for the current term.
• Course Intentions – links to learn more about course intentions.
• Academic Information – links to learn more about your advisement report, transfer credits and applying to graduate.

To find out more about any of these, click the relevant link.
