The Blackboard database will be moved to new storage on Friday, January 17, 2014 between 5 AM and 8 AM. Blackboard will not be available during this period. All other systems and applications accessed through the my.ryerson portal (including RAMSS) will still be available during this time frame. This change is necessary and it is one hour longer than our regular 6 am to 8 am maintenance window on Friday.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

The back-end server that all RMS web applications (Admin, Self Service and Activation) connect to became unresponsive starting at 10:58 AM this morning. The server was restarted and services were fully restored at 11:06 AM. We continue to investigate the cause. RMS is the system that makes possible account activation at http://www.ryerson.ca/accounts/ and provides the password change, Google Token setup and other features via “manage my online resources” inside the my.ryerson.ca portal.
Please accept our apologies for the disruption in service.
