Introduction In an effort to strengthen our end-user security posture and to maintain alignment with state and UNC System audit requirements and industry best practices, the Office of Information Technology has implemented the RAM Access Management Portal (RAMP). RAMP is an exciting new capability for WSSU faculty, staff, and students. It is actually two systems in one. First, it allows single sign-on (SSO) access to applications that are configured for it (currently Blackboard and Student Email), and it also allows all campus users to change your current password, unlock your account, or reset a forgotten password. When using RAMP to change your password, the following systems will use the same password credentials when your password is changed: Outlook email and Web Access (for faculty) Office 365 Outlook Web App (for students) RamsPrint Citrix Campus Windows PCs Blackboard RAMTech RamWare RAMPORT WebFocus Kbox People Admin eprocurement RAMSES NOTE: The following systems will NOT use the same password credentials when your password is changed in RAMP: Banner RAMS Online Banner INB Online Student Health Enrollment Instructions Before you can begin using RAMP, you must first register by logging into it using your current WSSU user account credentials and providing answers to security questions that will be used to prove your identity as well as optionally providing your cell phone number.
