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.

The American Institute of Architects’ Canada Society chapter (AIA) has announced the recipients of its 2020 Design Awards. The annual awards recognize excellence in Canadian architecture, urban design and interior design.
Humber College's Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, designed by Perkins and Will, was among 11 projects that received recognition from AIA Canada Society.
Of the 11 awards, Humber was only one of two projects to win in the ‘Excellence’ category of the award that ranked the projects in Excellence, Merit, Citation and Honourable Mention.
The awards program promotes exceptional talent and celebrates those who are pushing boundaries, using new technologies and materials, and developing our future environments in ways that enrich our lives and advance health, inclusivity and stewardship.

On October 20, 2021, an International Day of Action (IDoA) is scheduled to take place. Schools from around the world will be participating in raising awareness of the issue of contract cheating. Contract cheating has been defined as “the form of academic dishonesty where students get academic work completed on their behalf, which they then submit for academic credit as if they had created it themselves” (http://www.contractcheating.com).
This year, the discussion has extended to include online sites that suggest they offer tutoring services but in fact, are supporting acts of academic dishonesty by answering online test and exam questions or completing graded assignments for students. These sites are predatory in nature and during the height of COVID, aggressively marketed to students, profiting financially and putting student learning at risk.
If you would like to learn more about some of the international events happening on October 20, or more about free educational sessions on the day, please go to ICAI-IDoA.
You can also show your support for academic integrity by posting your personal messages about your commitment to integrity in the learning setting on your social media and including the hashtag #excelwithintegrity #myownwork. You may also contact Jennie Miron at jennie.miron@humber.ca in the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness for more information about the day.
Academic integrity is important and our students deserve to learn and flourish in environments that cherish and promote integrity.

At Humber’s Office of Research and Innovation, we are committed to supporting and working closely with our faculty and researchers as they strive to impart knowledge through experiential learning opportunities and immerse students in discovering and refining their skillsets.
We reached out to a few Humber students, recent graduates and research assistants working alongside faculty on projects that are mutually beneficial to the institution, to faculty and students alike, and to our industry and community partners. Today, we highlight the success of one such student, who shares his experience while working on an industrial design prototype that helped him understand the value of migrating from STEM to STEAMS.
