We Are Members of Various International Associations

A key to building strong partnerships is membership in associations with like-minded institutions.

Humber is a member of various professional associations dedicated to international higher education. Included among the many associations are: NAFSA - Association of International Education, EAIE - European Association for Education, APAIE - Asia Pacific Association for International Education and CCID - Community Colleges for International Development, Inc. As a member of these associations senior administration participate in annual conferences to identify new international partners, reconnect with existing partners, share Humber’s academic model to other parts of the world and to find new ways to innovate and advance internationalization within Humber.

Our Articulation Agreements Offer Students Future Study Options

Humber continually develops articulation agreements with institutions all over the world. Partners offer credit transfer opportunities to Humber students to move from diploma-to-Bachelor’s degree, or graduate certificate-to-Master’s degree. In turn, Humber welcomes articulation partnerships to encourage qualified international students to gain advanced entry into Humber programs. Pathways recognize previous relevant learning and allow students to advance their education in a shorter period of time.

Global Academic Agreement Definitions

Global Academic Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

A non-legally binding agreement that establishes a relationship between Humber and an international partner, which recognizes and details possible areas of collaboration. Specific collaborative activities under the umbrella of an MOU may be developed at any time but must normally be negotiated in a separate and legally binding Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). It is not essential for an MOU to precede an MOA although this is often the case.

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

A document providing specific details on how Humber will work with another recognized post-secondary institution or other which details how we will collaborate to achieve agreed-upon goals and objectives. Sub-types of MOA include:

Student Exchange Agreement: defines the terms for reciprocal exchange of students for the purpose of earning credit at a host institution towards the fulfillment of an academic credential at their home institution, normally for periods of one academic semester. Tuition is waived by the host institution in both directions, and participating students continue to pay their normal tuition and fees to their home institution during the approved exchange period.
Pathway Agreement (Inbound / Outbound): details the recognition of academic credits earned from the sending institution toward the entry requirements and often advanced standing toward completion of a further credential at the receiving institution.
