To all faculty and academic partners,

Scheduling Tests

All seats within the Testing Services are booked through an appointment-based process. For learners to schedule a test in the Test Centres, faculty must first make the test available within Blackboard or CourseLink.​

This is done in two easy steps:

1. Adding the Testing Services integration to your course content  beginning of summer 2022
2. Providing the test details and the test document – three days prior to the test date

Test Centre staff will approve the submission within one business day.​ Once approved, faculty will receive an automated email.​ Faculty can then let learners know that the test is available, and they can book their test via the system.​

More information about course integration and submitting a test can be found on our website (including new videos).

Learners

All learners must schedule their tests through Blackboard or CourseLink.​ Accommodations are automatically connected to the learner's profile in the system, and they are able to select the accommodations they wish to activate for each test.​ Learners will be prompted to select a date/time that is at minimum 48 hours away. Once the learner has completed their test in the Test Centre, faculty will receive an automated email and Test Centre staff will email faculty the completed exam.

More information about how to book a test can be found on our website (including a new video).

Extended Service Hours

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of all learners.

Hello Humber teams,

I’m writing to let you know that Corina Ivory has accepted a new role as Manager, Work-Integrated Learning within the Humber’s Faculty of Media and Creative Arts (FMCA) and will be leaving her role as Manager, Placements and Partnerships within the FSCS. Corina’s final date with the FSCS is October 14, 2022. In her new role managing the FMCA Work-Integrated Learning Department, Corina will be leading WIL for 34 programs across various creative industries such as Music & Fine Arts, Social Media and Communications, Film, Journalism and Interaction Design. She will continue to collaborate on institutional initiatives connected to all Faculties such as the implementation of Humber’s Work-Integrated Learning Quality Assurance Framework. In her new role, Corina will also actively work to create meaningful WIL opportunities and partnership engagement in Humber’s new Cultural Hub

Corina has been an integral part of the FSCS team over the last 7 years. Corina has been foundational in building our work integrated learning (WIL) portfolio, creating and maintaining relationships with hundreds of partners, all while leading a team of placement advisors who supported FSCS students to secure WIL opportunities. Some of the more notable highlights of Corina’s work include the launch of placement abroad and faculty-led international trips for the FSCS and the establishment of the yearly Partnership Appreciation Conference to better support student success. She formalized flexible WIL offerings for students, and secured the first CEWIL iHub funding for students participating in unpaid WIL. Corina was also instrumental in streamlining administrative processes to assist students in fair and equitable access to WIL opportunities with other departments across the college.

As a whole, Corina’s work has enriched the learning experience of all FSCS students in countless ways. Needless to say, Corina will be greatly missed, and we are extremely grateful for the support, leadership and vision she has provided to our Faculty. We wish her well in her new role with FMCA. 

Upon her departure, we respectfully ask that all communication be directed to Diana Balingit (diana.balingit@humber.ca) who will take on the role as Interim, Manager of Placements and Partnerships until we complete the hiring process.

Best, 

June MacDonald-Jenkins (she/her)
Sr. Dean Faculty of Social and Community Services
Principal, Lakeshore Campus

Humber Archives is proud to announce our latest in-person archival exhibition, “Selections from the Humber School for Writers Archives.” The archival material on display was repatriated to Humber earlier this year from the University of Toronto Archives, and represents the 30 year history of the Humber School for Writers.

We encourage you to stop by the North Library (4th floor of the LRC) during opening hours to view photographs, news coverage, and speeches made by many of the faculty who have participated in the program and learn more about the important cultural impact this program has had in Canada. Faculty highlighted in the display include authors Wayson Choy, Paul Quarrington, Miriam Toews, M.G. Vassanji and Olive Senior among others.

We also encourage you to explore the online Finding Aid Humber Archives staff have created for this unique resource to learn more about the history of the program and the scope of the collection, and explore some additional digitized materials from the archives.

As part of #CyberMonth2022, the HSPP REEL Big Phishing Trainer game returns for a second season. Once again, through the Humber and Seneca partnership program (HSPP), our colleges have collaborated to develop an interactive awareness game. This season of the game reinforces our learning objectives of the previous season, identifying phishing emails through red flags that are commonly seen in phishing attempts. In addition to identifying phishing emails, additional security best practices have been incorporated to exercise your overall security awareness.

In addition to being fun, interactive, and a great learning experience, the game also features a Humber Vs. Seneca leaderboard, which will allow for friendly competition. You will have the opportunity to play the game as many times as you would like, improving your score and increasing Humber's chances of being this years’ winner.

Our colleagues at Seneca were the victors of season 1, we hope that Humber's competitive spirit will see our community be victorious this season.

To get started, please go to husencollege.com to play the game today!

Finally, and most importantly, win prizes!

As a small token of our appreciation of your continued support of our cybersecurity initiatives, weekly raffles prizes will be made available. You can earn raffle entries each week for completing and participating in the game and our other initiatives - the more you participate, the more entries you can earn. During the final week, a grand prize will be drawn, and all your accumulated raffle entries you have accumulated throughout the month will be eligible.

Note: Please play the game to enter this week’s raffle draw and also a chance to win the grand prize.
