Registered partial-load employees will be eligible for priority hiring for available partial-load work based on the criteria set out in Article 26.10 of the OPSEU Academic Collective Agreement. To learn more about the Registry, visit the Humber Faculty Union website.

When and where do I register?

We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2022 calendar year will begin on June 10, 2021. The deadline to register is October 30, 2021. Please note that registration in previous years does not carry over; all faculty must register their interest annually. The college and union highly encourage all partial-load faculty to tender a submission for the Partial-Load Registry.

In order to register for the Partial-Load Registry, please find the access point on the front page of the Humber Human Resources webpage or go to the link at 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 supervisor for it. You N number is used to log into the system. Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation at the email address provided. Please retain the confirmation for your records.

Questions?

Should you have any questions about the Partial-Load Registry procedures, please speak with your Associate Dean, your Human Resources Business Partner (x5001), or your union (info@opseu562.org).

Have a great summer and thank you for all of your contributions to Humber College. We look forward to having you register for future partial load employment.

215: Every Child Matters

Humber Libraries mourns the loss of the 215 children found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, and recognizes this tragedy as part of an ongoing legacy of racism, discrimination and violence against Indigenous peoples in Canada.

At the library, we continue to build resource collections that uncover the truth of the genocide that occurred in Canada's Residential School system. We work to find resources that include residential school survivor's stories so that these legacies, ongoing traumas, and truths are not lost.

Visit our Library Spotlight to browse selected resources on this topic.

From May 30 to June 5, Canada celebrates National AccessAbility Week!

This year’s message focuses on championing last year's goal of building back better and is in line with the Government of Canada’s plan. It is an expansion of the disability-inclusive approach, initiatives and measures taken throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

In keeping with this priority, we must all work together to achieve an accessible and inclusive society making all feel part of the fabric.

#National AccessAbility Week aims to celebrate:

  • the valuable contributions of Canadians with disabilities
  • the accomplishments of individuals, communities and workplaces to remove barriers to accessibility and inclusion
  • the ongoing work we all have to do to counter discrimination against persons with disabilities and promote a culture of inclusion

Please view the kick-off announcement made by Minister Qualtrough and visit the website to learn how you can take part.

Humber and UofGH promotional image

Throughout the pandemic, Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH) have followed the recommendations of Public Health. Now, Public Health is asking us to get vaccinated when it is our turn.  

Vaccines are now widely available in Ontario, with restrictions being lowered regularly, and it may be your turn to get the shot. Health and safety are a shared responsibility. In Ontario, it is estimated that somewhere between 56% to 89% of individuals will need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to achieve herd immunity. Whether working on campus or remotely, we encourage you to get vaccinated, unless medically advised otherwise. Getting vaccinated will help protect the Humber community now and into the future. 

The Osler-Humber College COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic, located on the first floor of the University of Guelph-Humber at North Campus is now vaccinating people 12 years and older who have not yet received their first shot. Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are encouraged. Make one at http://ow.ly/btSB50EVI8W, or by phone at 905-494-6685. 

The more Humber and UofGH staff and students who get vaccinated, the sooner we can all be together. 

More information about COVID-19 vaccines can be found here.

The 2020 Humber Varsity Graduation Tour has earned Humber College its second Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Innovation Award.

Notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic, Varsity Academic Coordinator Mallory Lawton desperately wanted graduating student-athletes at the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) institution to experience some sort of special ceremony and the 'Graduation Tour' was created.

Lawton travelled across Ontario to bring a socially distanced graduation ceremony to nearly 50 Humber student-athletes. She created personalized signs, with caps and gowns, bringing graduation to their homes.

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

  • Remind students to notify you in advance if they require test/exam accommodations.
  • Post reminders on Blackboard (Humber) or CourseLink (Guelph-Humber) of upcoming test/exam dates.
  • Consider creating two (2) versions of each test/exam to cover situations where students may need to write on a different day than the rest of the class for disability-related reasons or other extenuating circumstances.
  • Consider opening the test/exam for a window of time (e.g. 24 hours) to allow students some additional flexibility.  

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.
