The Campus Bookstores are open and offering an online shopping experience as well as in-store shopping.

Online orders will be shipped to students' homes or to an address of their choice. The current processing time for order fulfillment is within 48-72 hours. If an item is not available in our store, that order will be sent to another Campus Store within our chain for fulfillment. Delivery time for these will be 4-6 days.

To provide contactless service, online order pick up will be handled at the window outside the store (Window in the Wall) at the North Campus.

For updated information on Store News & Hours, please visit North Campus Store and Lakeshore Campus Store.

Students may place their orders online North Campus Store  or Lakeshore Campus Store or shop in-store and can search by course code.

We will continue to provide both print and digital options for as many courses as possible. Please note that not all publisher's materials are available to the Campus Bookstore in a digital format. Digital delivery (access code) distribution can vary from providing an access code online to providing a printed code card for physical delivery. 

Please take a moment to read our FAQs for answers to our most received inquiries.

Your patience is much appreciated during these unprecedented times. At both the campus stores, we're giving everybody lots of room practicing physical/social distancing, washing our hands, wearing masks and gloves as well as regularly sanitizing common areas of each store.

Due to the global electronic component shortage, we are experiencing extended delivery delays from most of our technology product suppliers. Most affected by the delays are displays, Windows laptop computers, docking stations and Apple iPads. As the situation is constantly changing, additional devices and suppliers could be impacted.

Please take this into consideration when planning your purchases as we anticipate the situation is unlikely to improve for the next number of months. Furthermore, these delays will be compounded as the end of the year approaches. As a reminder, all purchases must be received before year end to be accounted for in the current fiscal year.

If you have any questions, please contact itam@humber.ca.

Cyber crime continues to pose a serious risk to Humber’s ability to provide secure and reliable services to our community. Hackers are evolving and becoming more sophisticated at tricking people into clicking on fraudulent links or opening malicious attachments. This type of attack, commonly known as phishing, not only poses serious risk to Humber’s security (financial, operational, and reputational integrity), it can also impact you personally. 

Because of this, Humber College has determined that security awareness training and phishing simulations are required to bolster our community’s immunity to these types of attacks. Our hope is that by providing training to our employees we can empower you as our last line of defense. Security awareness training went live in May 2020 and was initially targeted towards full-time employees but has now been expanded to include all employees.

The result of a phishing simulation this month shows that 15.1% of the targeted users fell for this attack. The industry (Education) benchmark is 27.9%

ITS Security sent out an email to invite employees who were not previously enrolled to take part in regular security awareness training. In addition to the monthly security awareness training, we will also send out periodic phishing simulations so that you can practice the skills you learned within the training. Be on the lookout for training in your inbox from IT Security <do-not-reply@training.knowbe4.com>.
