Humber's Campus Compass

Humber's Campus Compass wayfinding app was launched last year for the North and Lakeshore campuses. In advance of the summer term, we would ask members of the Humber community to submit updates to their areas. 

The app helps you navigate your way around campus to a wide range of features such as classrooms, parking pay stations, vending machines, eateries, ATMs, accessible routes and options around campus, and much more.

The app accepts user-submitted updates. To submit an update to Campus Compass, click on this form.

Download the app from the Google Play store or from the Apple App store.

Campus Compass is Humber’s wayfinding app available for iOS and Android mobile smart devices. The wayfinding app will include the latest information about what is open this fall.

The app helps you navigate your way around North and Lakeshore campuses to a wide range of features such as classrooms, eateries, ATMs, accessible routes and options around campus, and much more. It will also include the latest information about what is open, so you can plan accordingly. 

The app even has a Find my Friend feature to connect you with your friends. The system has been designed for students and guests and has been optimized for tracking in common areas and learning environments.

The app is a valuable resource for the Humber community, in particular new and returning students and faculty/staff. 

Download the app from the Google Play store or from the Apple App store.

After over ten years of progressive and dedicated service within Humber International, Kim Smith has decided to retire. Kim’s calm presence, ongoing mentorship of others and her steady, positive departmental leadership will be sorely missed by all in the department and by the many colleagues throughout Humber she works with to support our international students. Kim will be leaving at the end of May. We’re planning a Teams farewell get-together on Thursday, May 27 at 3:30 p.m. The get-together link will be circulated closer to the event date. In the meantime, please mark your calendars! We’d love to have you join us to thank Kim for her superb work and to wish her well.

Your Blackboard Learning Management System is getting an upgrade! We will be making updates to the Blackboard Environment on May 7.

The new Ultra themed navigation is mobile friendly and easy to use. Both faculty and students will be able to access their courses by selecting the Courses option in the left hand menu. Course content and course navigation will not be affected by this update.

Please contact mark.ihnat@humber.ca if you have any questions.

Recently, Sun Life has released the revised benefit enrolment forms that remove the previously available life insurance beneficiary designation section. The revised forms are to be completed and submitted by Humber employees, after completing their benefit’s enrolment or update process within the Human Resource Management System (HRMS). These forms can be accessed by navigating to the HRMS’s homepage.

After consultation with key stakeholders within Humber about the utilization of our Full-time Program Calendar, a decision has been made to develop a staff resource to replace a 2022/2023 Full-time Calendar. This resource will contain all the key program information and will be used by the Recruitment team and others in Faculties and departments. 

The feedback provided to GRMC was that this publication was rarely used outside of the recruitment team, and it was found that most areas utilized the web program pages directly for up-to-date program details and information.

Many colleges have already moved away from the production of a printed Full-time Program Calendar and this supports the recommendation of the Humber publications audit conducted by Centre for Excellence in Public Sector Marketing a few years ago.

The annual content review process by Faculties and RO will continue to ensure that the website is accurate when 2022/2023 program information is released in September 2021. This same info will be used for the staff resource.

The intent is to print a very limited quantity and it will also be available as an AODA accessible pdf for electronic use. This will have a positive environmental impact and result in cost savings, allowing us to reallocate funds to additional advertising throughout the year (i.e. Fall Boost, January intake campaigns) and to advertise programs needing additional support.

We will continue to produce our Viewbook and will work closely with the Recruitment team to determine anticipated print quantities.

If anyone has any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lori Falvo at lori.falvo@humber.ca.
