Do I need to let Ryerson know when I move?

Yes. You are required to inform Ryerson of a change of address each time you move so that you can receive important information that is mailed to you throughout the year. You can confirm what address we have on file for you in your program department or at my.ryerson.ca (RAMSS tab).

What happens if I do not change my e-mail and/or mailing address?

You could miss crucial information such as:

Course enrollment information;

Important information that could affect your continuation in your program.

Graduation eligibility and Convocation ceremony information.

How many addresses are kept in my file?

You could have as many as two different addresses on file.

1. Your permanent home address, which could be out of the country, out of the province, or anywhere in Ontario. This is where all of your mail will be sent if it is the only address on file for you.

2. Your mailing address, which is usually the address where you live during the school year. It should be given only when it is different from your permanent home address. This is where your mail is sent during the academic term.

Where and how do I change my address?

1. You can update your address on RAMSS.

Go to my.ryerson.ca (RAMSS tab) and click on Address update.

2. The confidentiality policy does not permit address changes over the phone.

Graduation Information

All information and correspondence pertaining to your graduation, will be mailed to the address indicated on your Application to Graduate. If you change your address, contact Curriculum Advising at 416-979-5151.

Is there anyone else I should inform of a change of address?

Tell your program department/school because they may not keep track of centralized records. If you are an OSAP recipient, you should inform the Student Financial Assistance Office as well.

What if I change my phone number(s)?

You must keep Ryerson informed of your current phone number(s), so that you do not miss information which may be of an urgent nature. You can change your phone number(s) online through your Student Centre on RAMSS. Phone number changes cannot be made over the phone.

What other changes do I need to inform Ryerson about?

If you legally change your name, or your name is incorrect/incomplete in Ryerson's records, it is your responsibility to notify Ryerson as soon as possible. The name on your Ryerson record, is the name which will appear on your transcript and on your graduation document.

To change your name in Ryerson's records, you must submit the Personal Data Change Form, found online at www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/forms/index.html, to Student Records, POD-64, along with supporting documentation usually in the form of: Legal Name Change Certificate, Birth Certificate, Passport, or Certificate of Marriage.

Name changes cannot be submitted online through RAMSS or by Fax. Only students currently attending Ryerson may file a request for a name change.
