Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

  • However well-meaning, faculty may design lectures that unintentionally create barriers for students. 
  • Whether you are delivering a synchronous or asynchronous lecture or teaching a class in person we have a list of tips on how to do this with accessibility in mind. 

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.   

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.

As of October 2021, students requesting a refund can be directed to the new Fee Refund Request eForm located in MyHumber. 

Students should no longer be directed to email bursar@humber.ca to request a refund. Fee refund requests must now be submitted via MyHumber:

MyHumber > Student > Student Account & Fees > Fee Refund Request eForm

Please note, to support the new/incoming student experience, the process for semester one student refund requests will be as follows:

  • Domestic semester one only – direct new students contact Admissions to discuss their registration status or withdrawal from the semester/program. Admissions will assign a Student Action Form (SAF) to Fees to initiate a refund. 
  • International semester one only – direct new students to connect with an International Advisor by submitting the International Contact Form at international.humber.ca/contact.html to discuss their registration status, impact on their study permit, etc. International will assign a SAF to Fees to initiate a refund.

All domestic and international continuing/returning students should also always be encouraged to consult an advisor if they are considering a program/course withdrawal. The continuing/returning student will be responsible for submitting their own Fee Refund Request eForm via MyHumber. 

For more information about fees and refunds, please visit humber.ca/fees.
