Did you know that the Gender Diversity Policy outlines Humber’s position as it relates to Self-Identification?

Provided below is an overview of Humber’s statement on Self-Identification located in section one (1.1) of Humber’s Gender Diversity Policy:

Self-identification is the sole and whole measure of a person’s gender.

a) No person shall be asked or required to 'prove' their gender (e.g. by providing a doctor's note, identity documents, etcetera) in order to gain access to any facilities, activities, initiatives and opportunities within the Humber College learning, working and/or living environment.

b) However, if a person, having established a relationship with the College which is reflected in documents created and stored by the College (whether electronic or hard copy), seeks a change in those documents to reflect their gender and/or preferred gender pronoun, appropriate identification documents will be required in order to ensure against identity fraud. For this purpose, appropriate identification documents for Ontario Residents may include the Change of Name document from the Office of the Registrar General.
