Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in April, a prompt will be provided on the CPEP Instagram and through the Humber Communiqué to encourage people to take an action in recognition of SAAM. Participants who share a photo addressing the prompt by emailing it to cpep@humber.ca will be entered into a raffle to win a $150 gift card; all entries must be submitted by Monday, May 3 at 12 p.m. to be eligible for the prize!

Today's prompt is...During SAAM, I Am…: Reflect on your feelings during SAAM and find a way to capture them as creatively as possible.

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Team at Humber Research and Innovation is pleased to announce the next call for applications for the Teaching Innovation Fund.

About the fund: The fund includes $1,400 per investigator and support in developing and conducting a research project about teaching and learning. There are typically two types of projects: “Build” projects, in which you develop and build a new, evidence-based teaching tool or approach, and “Impact” projects, in which you measure the impact of an innovative teaching tool or approach with your students. 

For more information and to access the application form, see the attached document. To hear from faculty that have previously conducted research with the fund, visit our video summary of previous TIF Projects.

The deadline for applications is Monday, May 3.

Applications may be submitted to laura.page@humber.ca.

Effective Fall 2021, following payment of their tuition deposit as indicated on the Academic Calendar or offer letter, all students must pay or arrange to pay the balance of their tuition fees before registering for courses each term. A message was sent today (April 14) to new and returning domestic and international students informing them of this change. This updated payment process is meant to help students avoid the unintended consequences of an outstanding balance so students can remain focused on their classes during the academic year. 
 
For the Fall 2021 term, the tuition balance is due on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 prior to registration, which begins the week of July 26, 2021. Payment options and financial planning resources will be shared with students including information about available payment plans or arrangements. The Academic Calendar has been updated with the new tuition balance due dates and other important dates throughout the academic year.  

Payment options and tuition balance information can be found at humber.ca/fees. Students have been directed to contact the Office of the Registrar should they have questions about the updated process.
