Humber’s Elections Guidelines and Materials from Elections Canada

The Ontario election has officially begun. Please familiarize yourself with Humber’s Elections Guidelines and let us know if you would like to access Elections Canada’s voting awareness assets.  

Ontario is now in an election period. Please familiarize yourself with Humber’s Elections Guidelines which outline the terms of political engagement between now and June 2^nd (Election Day). These guidelines also detail the actions the college takes to ensure our faculty and staff have the resources and support they need during this period, including situations where candidates are looking to recruit volunteers or distribute literature to students, faculty and/or staff.  

As a reminder, any requests for an on-campus or virtual engagement with a candidate during the election period should be brought to the attention of Kelly Jackson, the Vice-President of External Affairs and Professional Learning (Kelly.jackson@humber.ca) prior to organizing any event or engagement with students, staff or faculty.   

Also, GRMC has obtained digital assets from Elections Canada designed to promote voting awareness among young people during the election period. These assets have specifically been designed with post-secondary institutions in mind. In addition to the digital assets, we received a limited amount of postcards and posters which are currently at North Campus. If you’re interesting in accessing Elections Canada digital assets and/or postcards and posters, please reach out to Bethany Sharpe (Bethany.sharpe@humber.ca).

Good afternoon,

A technical issue occurred with the Partial-Load Registry e-form on the final day to register (April 30, 2022). To enable those who attempted to register their interest on April 30, 2022 and were unable to do so, we will be reopening the registry all day Thursday, May 5 and all day Friday, May 6 (Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 12 a.m. until Friday May 6, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.).

In order to register for the Partial Load Registry, please visit hrs.humber.ca/partialloadregistry. To register, you will require your Humber employee number as well as your N number. Your Humber employee number can be found on your pay stub, or you can ask your manager for it. Your N number is used to log into the system.

As a reminder, this registry period will cover the winter term of 2023, spring term of 2023 and summer term of 2023.

PTTC is brought to you by the Humber-Seneca Polytechnic Partnership (HSPP)

HSPP promotes co-operation and collaboration between Humber and Seneca, while enhancing and expanding learning opportunities for students at both institutions—as they begin, continue, or complete their postsecondary education.

HSPP diploma-to-degree pathways provide students at both institutions the opportunity to build on their credentials, without losing credits or delaying graduation. 

The partnership includes joint efforts to develop programs and curricula, enhance student services, and share operational costs. 

HSPP leverages the respective expertise of each institution for the benefit of all students. Combining strengths through the HSPP, Humber and Seneca provide learners with broader options and greater access to the world-class polytechnic education that will prepare them for their careers.

To all faculty and academic partners,

As we shared in April, Testing Services is introducing an enhanced service delivery model to ensure we are meeting the needs of learners, faculty and academic partners, and institutional priorities.

Scheduling Tests
All seats within the Testing Services are booked through an appointment-based process. Effective for the summer 2022 semester, all scheduling of tests is conducted through an LMS integration within Humber’s Blackboard system and Guelph-Humber’s CourseLink system. This new integration will create a seamless process for all faculty and learners, ensuring the correct exams are scheduled for learners within the correct courses.

For learners to schedule a test in the Test Centres, faculty must first make the test available through the new integration. This is done in two easy steps, one of which you should activate at the beginning of summer 2022. These steps are detailed in the attached slide deck.

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

Once you have made the test available in the Testing Services system, learners are able to book their test via the system.

This new methodology provides learners with confidence in securing their writing dates and times and eliminates line-ups and crowds at our locations. This approach also ensures that specialized accommodations requiring limited resources (e.g., individual testing rooms, large spaces to enable a reader/scribe, specialized adaptive software programs not available on all devices) are able to be offered as required to meet our shared duty to accommodate. 

Please remember learners are not required to activate their accommodations for all tests. Faculty will only need to submit tests to Testing Services if a learner has indicated to their faculty they wish to write in Testing Services spaces by communicating directly with you. A test cannot be booked in the Test Centre by a learner without faculty submitting the test first. Please know that learners will be able to complete their tests/assessments within two weeks of the scheduled in-class date to enable access to resources within Testing Services.

We will continue to seek feedback from faculty, staff, and learners throughout the summer for further improvements launching in fall 2022, including training for all faculty.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of all learners. We wish you all the best for the rest of this semester.
