What is happening?

Switchover of web traffic to go through Lakeshore network load balancers. Currently, traffic flows through the North network load balancers.

Impacted users: anyone who uses Humber HQ or COSSID

What Humber HQ users might experience?

After you have logged in, you might see a different account (than the one you logged in with) on the top right. You might also see tasks that are assigned to another user. This is due to the user sessions being stored differently than with the Web Acceleration system.

What COSSID users might experience?

After you have logged in, you might see a different account (than the one you logged in with) on the top right. You might also see tasks/outlines that are assigned to another user. This is due to the user sessions being stored differently than with the Web Acceleration system.

What users should do if they encounter the scenarios above?

Users should immediately stop working/making changes in the tool, take a screen capture of the error and report the error to Black Cat (gab@blackcatadvertising.com).

Data must not be entered or edited, as it risks editing the wrong items.

How long will COSSID and HQ be impacted?

The current estimate is June 29, 2022 but the issue might get resolved earlier.

An update will be posted on Humber Communiqué to advise when the issue has been resolved.

We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

First and foremost, we are sending a very big "thank you" to everyone at Humber who negotiated the migration from Bb Original to Ultra over the last academic year. 

We're sending a friendly reminder that every Humber course will run in Ultra for Fall 2022 as we no longer have the capacity to support original courses in the fully operational Ultra environment.

Need support with Ultra? We are always here to help.

Dear Humber colleagues,

I am pleased to share some exciting news about the evolution of Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) at Humber. What many of you had known as Corporate Training Solutions (CTS) has moved to CPL Central! This integration positions CPL Central to provide higher quality and more cohesive non-post-secondary up-skilling and re-skilling initiatives to our learners which now include corporate, non-profit, and government partners.

This shift will help us stay at the forefront of responding to labour market demands while making it easier for all learners to access our full range of programs. While some positions have changed with this integration, our core mission of bringing together industry connections, expert faculty, advanced methodologies, and state-of-the-art learning resources from across the College, remains the same. Working with our faculty and business unit partners, we continue to support lifelong learning in a customized and responsive way.

If you are interested in working with a particular corporate client, please let us know. We are happy to leverage our extensive experience in developing and delivering customized programs, certifications (including micro-credentials), and support services to address any organization’s needs.

Thank you for your support in helping us meet the goals and objectives of our 3,700+ continuing professional learners. Want more information on CPL? Please see our new organizational chart attached. For further inquiries, please contact me directly at frank.cappadocia@humber.ca.

Best regards,

Frank Cappadocia
Dean, Continuous Professional Learning
