It is essential that students keep Ryerson informed of any changes to their name, permanent home and/or mailing address, and phone number. 

Name Changes

If a student legally changes their name, or their name is incorrect or incomplete in Ryerson's records, it is the student's responsibility to notify Ryerson as soon as possible.

The name on the Ryerson record is the name that will appear on the student's transcript and on their graduation document.

To change their name in Ryerson's records, students must submit the Personal Data Change Form, found online at , to Student Records (c/o the Enrolment Services and Student Fees Office in POD 64), along with supporting documentation in the form of:

• Certificate of Birth, 
• ±Ê²¹²õ²õ±è´Ç°ù³Ù, 
• Certificate of Marriage, or
• Legal Name Change Certificate

Name changes cannot be submitted online through RAMSS or by Fax. 

Graduation Name

The name on a student's Ryerson record will appear on their graduation document, unless the student notifies Ryerson of any changes they wish to make. Graduating students have the option to include a middle name to appear only on their graduation document. For this, students must submit a Personal Data Change form with appropriate documentation. For example, Ethan Chan could request Ethan Jacob Chan 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

Students are required to inform Ryerson of a change of address each time they move so that they can receive timely and important information that is mailed to them throughout the year. Students can confirm what address we have on file for them on RAMSS at .

Students 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 the permanent home address if it is the only address on file.
2. Mailing Address: This address is where the student lives during the school year. It should only be given when it differs from the permanent home address. Mail sent during the school year will be sent to the student's mailing address.

Students can change their address at any time. Detailed are found on the RAMSS Support website.

Phone Number Changes

It is important for students to keep Ryerson informed of their current phone number(s), so that they do not miss information which may be of an urgent nature. Students can update their phone number(s), through the RAMSS Student Centre.  are found on the RAMSS Support website.
