Financial Services Update - October 2021

The Financial Services Team is pleased to announce another successful year-end audit for the fiscal year 2020/21. We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support and contributions for making this happen.

We would also like to thank Information Technology Services and the Registrar’s Office for supporting the following Financial Services projects completed in the last 18 months:

  • Student e-Transfer Payments (fast way for our students to access funds);
  • Travel and Expense module (no more paper claims); and
  • Flywire Student Payment Plan options

The world has changed and so has the way we do business. The following information should assist you as we continue to work in a hybrid model: 

a. Business Out of Pocket Expense Reimbursements via Chrome River

As of May 18, 2021, staff who have been provisioned in Chrome River Travel & Expense Reimbursement (Chrome River) must electronically submit their reimbursement request and receipts for approval via Chrome River. Chrome River training was offered during the months of April and June. We understand that some staff were missed or would need a refresher. 

As promised, we will be delivering fall refresher training. This training is open to staff who were previously trained, or anyone who was provisioned in Chrome River after July 1. Please email hardeep.saini@humber.ca, or lamar.samuels2@humber.ca if you are interested in attending training and we will contact you with the specific date(s) and time. 

Please speak to your Business Manager about submitting a Grant or Revoke Finance Security eForm if you need to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket business expenses, and have not been provisioned with Chrome River access. Once provisioned you will be sent information on training. 

For information related to the new Chrome River Travel & Expense Reimbursement Process, please view the following posted communique announcements:

For staff that need to reimburse the College for non-payroll expenses; send an email money transfer (etransfer) to etransferpayments@humber.ca and complete the Miscellaneous Deposit Receipt Form  and submit to accounts.receivable@humber.ca.
