My Ramapo Introduction

My Ramapo (Luminis) is a single login portal that gives users access to secured information on the Ramapo intranet, Web for Faculty, Web for Students, Web for Employees, e-mail, calendar, groups and course tools. My Ramapo is a communication tool that allows users in the Ramapo community to receive and send customized information according to your role, i.e. student, faculty, employee.

A Ramapo e-mail account is required for access to this system. Follow the link on the login page if you need to activate your Ramapo account or click below.

When you first log in to the system, you will see a set number of tabs with predefined channels (see below). This layout has been created with content relevant to your specific role (student, faculty, etc.). You may also add new tabs to your personal layout and populate them with other channels to which you are able to subscribe, or with any URL to which you want to link.

Navigation Bar: You will see your custom navigation bar consistently across the top of each page. Consider this navigation bar your roadmap to accessing the various points of interest within the system. The navigation bar consists of two main areas of navigation: the tabs, which will give you access to different sections of content, and the applications, which are
represented as icons across the top right-hand side of the page (e-mail, calendar, groups).

A computer equipped with a Web browser and an internet connection. (see FAQ for supported browsers) .
