All students in full and part-time graduate and undergraduate degree programs and all continuing education students are required to activate and maintain their Ryerson online identity in order to regularly access Ryerson's E-mail, RAMSS, my.ryerson.ca portal and learning system, and other systems by which they will receive official University communications.

Students are required to monitor and retrieve messages and information issued to them by the University via Ryerson online systems on a frequent and consistent basis.

Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communications may be time-critical.

Students may forward their Ryerson E-mail account to another electronic mail service provider address but remain responsible for ensuring that all University electronic message communication sent to their official Ryerson E-mail account is received and read.

Procedures for student activation and use, as well as the Ryerson Student Computing Guidelines, shall be available on the Ryerson University website.

Ryerson requires that any electronic communications by students to Ryerson faculty or staff be sent from their official Ryerson E-mail account.
