It is essential that you keep Ryerson informed of any changes to your name, permanent home and/or mailing address, and phone number. You may miss important mailings or other notifications if you do not do so.

Name Changes

If you legally change your name, or your name is in 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/essr, to Enrollment Services and Student Records, along with supporting documentation in the form of either: Certificate of Birth, passport, Certificate of Marriage, divorce papers, or Legal Change of Name Certificate. Name changes cannot be submitted online through RAMSS. 

Graduation Name

The name on your Ryerson record will appear on your graduation document, unless you notify Ryerson of any changes you wish to make. Graduating students have the option of requesting a derivative and/or middle name for graduation purposes, e.g., Anthony Smith could request Tony Matthew Smith to appear on his degree document. All requests must be submitted by the stated deadline - See Significant Dates. See above for the Name Change procedure. 

Address Update

You are required to inform Ryerson of a change of address each time you move so that you can receive timely, and important information that is mailed to you throughout the year. You can confirm what address we have on file for you on RAMSS at my.ryerson.ca.

You can have up to two different addresses on file:

1. Permanent Home address: This address could be out of the country or province, or anywhere in Ontario. All mail will be sent to your permanent home address if it is the only address on file.
2. Mailing Address: This address is where you live during the school year. It should only be given when it differs from your permanent home address. Mail sent during the school year will be sent to your mailing address.

To update your address, complete the Address Update Form found online at www.ryerson.ca/essr, and submit to Enrollment Services and Student Records, or update your address online through the RAMSS Student Centre. Address changes cannot be made over the telephone.

Phone Number Changes

It is important to keep Ryerson informed of your current phone number(s), so that you do not miss information which may be of an urgent nature. To update your phone number(s), complete the Address Update Form found online at www.ryerson.ca/essr, and submit to Enrollment Services and Student Records, or update your phone number(s) online through the RAMSS student Centre. Phone number changes cannot be made over the telephone.
