Orientation Checklist

 

  • Employee Number

    Issued by Human Resources.  Department Administrator will assist in obtaining it for you.

  • Ryerson OneCard

    The Ryerson OneCard is your on-campus Photo Identification Card. It can also be programmed to provide access to buildings, photocopiers, and classroom podia. It also serves as your Library Patron Card (see “Library Access” below).

    When you have received your Employee Number from Human Resources, consult with the Department Administrator, who will complete the necessary form to ensure that your OneCard is properly programmed. Then visit the Ryerson OneCard office on the lower Ground floor of Jorgenson Hall (JOR02), where a photo will be taken and a card issued and programmed.

  • Activating your Online Identity

    Ryerson Online Identity (ROI)
    Issued by CCS (Computing and Communication Services) this central identify is necessary to access my.ryerson, Blackboard, Ryerson’s Administrative Management Self Service (RAMSS) and classroom podia.  When you have received your Employee Number from Human Resources, apply for your ROI online at http://www.ryerson.ca/accounts/.  Request username following convention of first initial, last name or first name, last name (jsmith or jane.smith).

    ARTS Online Identity
    When you have received your ROI, consult the Department Administrator, who will arrange for you to receive an ARTS Online identity, using the same username. The ARTS account is necessary to use networked computers and printers.  It is also necessary to access the password-protected part of this web-site. Establishment of an email account on the ARTS server is optional for those with short-term contracts, but highly recommended for those with a longer-term presence in the Department. Such an email account will be username@politics.ryerson.ca

    If, in consultation with the Department Administrator, your ARTS online identity includes an “@politics” email account, set the "forward" feature in your Ryerson email so that incoming mail will be forwarded to your ARTS account. Click here for instructions.

    Every effort will be made to ensure that you have the same username for Ryerson systems (Blackboard, computers in podia, etc.) and ARTS systems (office computer, email, networked printers).  Be sure to set passwords that you will remember for each system.  You will need them both.  Many people use a common password and change it in both places at regular intervals. 

  • Desk Space, Phones, Mailboxes and Keys

    The Department Administrator will assign office space, a telephone extension, a mailbox, and keys. In cases where an office is shared, the Department Administrator will arrange the appropriate telephone configuration, which MAY include independent voice-mail.

  • Library Access

    Once you have a Ryerson Online Identity (ROI) and a Ryerson One Card, you will have access to RULA  - Ryerson University Library and Archives.  Activate your One Card at the Reference Desk in the Library.  Your account can then be checked online at  https://catalogue.library.ryerson.ca/patroninfo~S0

  • Photocopying Privileges

    Your OneCard will allow you to use most photocopiers on campus. It may take up to 48 hours to be operational after the card is issued.
