October 23, 2025

On October 23, 2025, the Office of the Registrar launched a web-based case management tool as part of the ongoing Enrolment and Admissions Rethinking (E&AR) project called the Humber Contact Form

The Humber Contact Form has replaced the enquiry@humber.ca mailbox. Instead of sending an email, learners will submit questions using the Humber Contact Form. Requests now go directly into a web-based application, where the Office of the Registrar staff can view, track and respond to them. 

What has changed: 

The implementation of the Humber Contact Form will help the Office of the Registrar to: 

  • Reduce duplicate questions 
  • Make it faster and easier to manage enquiries 
  • Provide better tools and data 
  • Help different teams in the Office of the Registrar and Recruitment resolve enquiries seamlessly 

Please direct learners to complete the Humber Contact Form for any questions handled by the Office of the Registrar.

Poster for Humber Polytechnic is Smoke-Free.

Humber Polytechnic aims to ensure a healthy working and learning environment for the community and recognizes the health hazards associated with smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. Humber became a smoke-free campus on January 1, 2019, with the introduction of the Smoke-Free Campus Policy.

We would like to take some time to remind our community of this Policy. This Policy applies to all students, employees, contractors, the general public, and any other visitors on campus grounds. Smoking is prohibited on Humber property including all campuses, buildings, spaces, and grounds (including outdoor spaces), with a few special exemptions, which are described in the Policy. The use, sale, and promotion of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, vapour products, tobacco products, cannabis products, and any other smoking products on Humber property is prohibited.

Signage indicating the prohibition of smoking of any kind on Humber property is found throughout all campuses, including in outdoor spaces. We encourage individuals to contact the Department of Public Safety at 416.675.8500 (non-emergency) should smoking of any kind be observed on Humber property. Those found in violation of the Policy may be subject to remedial action.

We thank all members of our community for their adherence to this Policy and assisting to make our campus smoke-free. Together, we can create a healthy working and learning environment for all.

For more information, please review the Smoke-Free Campus Policy.

Humber’s newly released 2024–2025 Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP) Annual Report highlights the measurable impact of our continued effort towards sustainable campus operations and innovation. 

Since 2015, Humber has reduced energy use per square foot by over 30 per cent, water use per student by 19 per cent, and absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 13 per cent, while generating over $14 million in utility cost savings to date – nearly $3 million saved from this past year alone. 

These achievements were made possible through several major milestones, including the opening of Phase 1 of Humber’s Zero Carbon Building-Design Standard certified Humber Cultural Hub at the Lakeshore campus, and Phase 2 of Project SWITCH at the North Campus.  

SWITCH achieved the installation of 1.6 km of underground piping, connecting the residences to the new hot water network, enabling residences to be heated and cooled using Humber’s new low-carbon central plant. A big step towards electrification and away from fossil fuels, enforcing Humber’s climate resilience! 

In the coming years, the impact of our emissions reduction projects will see even more transformative change, as we continue advancing Humber’s Climate Action Plan towards our 2029 net zero emissions goal.

Dear support staff,

As you have heard me say many times over the last year, our Humber community is building brilliance every day in everything we do. Our support staff are central to our ability to do this, and we are delighted to welcome full-time support staff back to work.

You are the people who ensure our students are supported when they need it most. You are the people who photograph, record and write about outstanding student accomplishments. You provide exceptional care for the youngest members of our community in the Child Development Centre. You welcome students, maintain our systems, and help foster a safe and inclusive learning environment and so much more. From supporting one another, faculty and administration to partners, donors, industry and community representatives and the institution overall, support staff are an important part of every facet of our operations.

I know that these last few weeks have been challenging. Please know that everyone at Humber is so glad to have you back on campus.

You have been missed. Welcome back.

Sincerely,

Ann Marie Vaughan 
President and CEO
