All students in full- and part-time undergraduate degree programs are required to activate Ryerson online identity to be able to access many of Ryerson's central computer resources including Ryerson e-mail, the my.ryerson.ca portal or a workstation in the central computer labs. See www.ryerson.ca/accounts.

More information about Ryerson online identity activation process and resources available for students can be found at www.ryerson.ca/ccs/myaccounts.

Ryerson students enjoy a full range of computer services and facilities. Students should be aware, however, that misuse of the computing facilities is an offence. Such offences include the use of the computing technology for purposes other than that for which computing authorization was originally issued; accessing, using, modifying, reading, copying, or distributing of data or programs not yours or not intended for public use; interfering with the legitimate use of the computer by others; use of an account other than the one specifically assigned to you; not taking reasonable steps to ensure that no other person knows your password. Minor offences may be dealt with by making restitution to the parties who have suffered damage or injury. Serious abuse may result in expulsion. For the purposes of definition of computer and datasets, all computer facilities operated within Ryerson University shall be deemed included, and datasets may be stored either online to the computer, or offline in any form.

Misuse of computer services and facilities by any user is an offence. Such offences may be dealt with under the Code of Student Conduct.

Any tampering with, or unauthorized use of Ryerson’s computing facilities is indictable under sections 301 and 387 of The Criminal Code (Bill C-19).
