Events on campus will be permitted to resume as of May 2, 2022.

The Temporary Use of Space for Events Policy in effect since July 2019, remains in place.  

All events and activities using space on campus require a permit which will be issued by the booking authority, subject to inspection by the department of Public Safety or other college officials upon demand. This will ensure that all bookings have been vetted, meet risk management guidelines and are logged properly so that in the event of an emergency we can take appropriate action. 

Some examples of the types of events/activities that are impacted by the policy/procedure are (but are not limited to): 

• Vendor sales in the concourse i.e. Valentine’s Day gifts, graduation rings, flowers etc. 
• Student/Department led bake/craft sales and/or project displays 
• Art shows 
• Conference activities 
• Student film shoots 
• Information tabling 
• Performances 
• Any use of space outside of regular business hours 
• Etc. 

All external requests for booking space on campus will be managed by Humber’s Central Events Office (previously Conference Services) and should be referred to an Event Logistics Liaison at hcs@humber.ca. External organizations may be referred to humber.ca/conference to request a quote. Internal requests for booking space will continue to be verified and processed through the Registration Office Scheduling Department via a Temporary Use of Space Application form. If a request is deemed to be external, it will be forwarded to the Central Events Office. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the following: 

1. Rhonda Harrison (Registrar’s Office) – rhonda.harrison@humber.ca 
2. Connie Sanfilippo (Campus Services) – connie.sanfilippo@humber.ca 
3. Rob Kilfoyle (Public Safety) – rob.kilfoyle@humber.ca  

We look forward to hosting more events throughout the college over the coming months.

There have been some date changes made recently in respect to the administration of the partial-load registry.

The new deadline for registering interest for partial load work is April 30, 2022. This registry will cover the work terms of Winter 2023, Spring 2023, and Summer 2023.

The registry will be open as of Monday, February 28, 2022.

You are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure that you are eligible for priority hiring for partial load work as set out in the collective agreement.

About the Registry (Article 26.10)

The Partial-Load Registry enables current or previously employed partial-load employees of Humber College to register their interest in being employed as a partial load faculty for specified academic terms. Registered partial-load employees will be eligible for priority hiring for available partial load work based on the criteria set out in Article 26.10 of the OPSEU Academic Collective Agreement. Please note that the dates established for the registry have changed with a new registry date of April 30.

Registry Date Changes

The partial load registry list which closed on October 31, 2021 will be used for determining priority for the calendar year of 2022 that is covering the terms of Winter 2022, Spring/Summer 2022 and Fall 2022.

The new deadline for registering interest, which will close on April 30, 2022 will cover the winter term of 2023, spring term of 2023 and summer term of 2023.

On April 30, 2023 (and every following April 30) there will be another deadline for registering interest for the 2023- 2024 Academic year covering Fall 2023, Winter 2024 and Spring/Summer 2024.

We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2023 calendar year will begin this Monday, February 28, 2022. The deadline to register is April 30, 2022.

It is required that you register again prior to the April 30, 2022 deadline for the winter term of 2023, spring term of 2023 and summer term of 2023. The College and Union highly encourage all Partial Load Faculty to tender a submission for the Partial Load Registry.

Should you have any questions about the Partial-Load Registry procedures, please speak with your Associate Dean, your Human Resources Business Partner (ext. 5001), or your union (info@opseu562.org).

In the event you experience any problems as you register, please contact the HR Service Centre so that this can be promptly reviewed and responded to by Sara Abada, LR Coordinator.
