I'm building a ramp for my daughter's fiance who is wheelchair bound (spina bifida) approximately 4 feet long. I am using 4 2x10s They have been glued together to make a pair of blanks. I have ripped them in half in order to accommodate the bandsaw. I want to cut them diagonally in order to come up with six "miniramps" which I plan to dowel together. My question is how do I set up the bandsaw to achieve the desired result?

The 'simple' way would be to create a line where it needs to be cut and free hand it.

If you want to make it quick and simple take a piece of ply or particle board and make a simple sled to ride against the fence. It will need to be a little wider than your widest piece you are going to be cutting. Mount the piece you want to cut on the plywood at the angle you need and then run it through the saw. The easiest way to mount it to the plywood is screw it from the bottom through the ply. Before you remove the first piece screw three little blocks of wood to the ply, one at the end and two along the backside to allow you to easily orient the subsequent pieces to the sled.
