Student Checklist

1. Set up your Ryerson online identity

To use Ryerson’s online tools, including email and D2L Brightspace learning system, you must first activate your Ryerson online identity. Without this, you will not be able to access any student systems, including MyServiceHub to enroll in classes. Visit the Undergraduate Student Guide website for more information.

2. Get your Student OneCard

Your Student OneCard is one of the most important tools you’ll need while at Ryerson. Not only is it your official student identification, but it also grants you access to campus services and discounts.

You can use your OneCard to take out materials from the Library, access buildings and labs, use photocopiers and equipment, and much more. Visit the OneCard website to learn more and get your card.

3. Ask for help if you need it

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. For general inquiries about your curriculum or financial aid, please visit the Registrar’s website. For inquiries related to your academic success, please contact a member of the RASS team and we’ll try and point you in the right direction.

4. Pay your tuition fees

Don’t forget to pay for your Ryerson fees! If you forget to pay them, Ryerson can withhold course marks, health care services and add late fees. Visit the Registrar’s Office website for more information. If you need help with this system, contact a member of the RASS team.
