What is HELP?

  • HELP is the Humber Engagement and Learning Profile survey for incoming students.
  • Developed by a cross-institutional Advisory Group, HELP is a cutting-edge incoming student survey.

Who is HELP for?

  • HELP asks incoming first-semester students in certificate, diploma and degree programs to tell us about their preparation for college, their educational and career goals, early opinions about their program and Humber generally, and to identify particular student support services they may use
  • Participating students are entered into a draw for prizes including $1,000 towards tuition, $500 towards tuition and $50 Humber Bookstore Gift Cards.


When does it happen?

  • The HELP survey is open to students this week! (September 21 – October 4). 
  • The survey is administered online and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

How does a student access the HELP survey?

  • A student will receive a survey invitation through their personal email. The email subject line will read: “Humber HELP Survey Invitation – WIN PRIZES!”.  In the email will be the student’s unique link to the survey.

Why is HELP important?

  • Students tell us how we can help them be successful at Humber, and receive individualized emails and timely information about Humber’s services based on areas of assistance they identified as beneficial!
  • Humber Institutional Research creates and distributes reports based on student responses to key questions, identifying those who are struggling or at-risk of leaving early.
  • Aggregate data at the program, school and college levels will help us to develop institutional retention strategies that will help more students be successful in their program.
