Months of organization and effort have gone into crafting this digital experience, and we’re so excited to finally be able to share it with you!

Culture's Compass was created by Humber students for the benefit of the arts community. It seeks to highlight themes that are relevant to the current arts and culture climate, as well as highlight and celebrate the accomplishments of industry professionals and artists. Culture’s Compass is not only an initiative that brings together the arts and culture communities but a space to innovate and envision the future possibilities of the arts.

This digital experience has three key components to be discovered; a digital gallery populated with the work of emerging artists, a mini-docuseries containing interviews with arts industry leaders discussing their experiences over the past year, and a selection of resources containing data relating to operating during the pandemic.

For more information, check out our newsletter for the official announcement.

As part of Humber’s Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP), Facilities Management is constantly looking for opportunities to save energy and costs. With this in mind, we have reviewed our existing practice to condition spaces as normal on public holidays. Given the significantly reduced occupancy, going forward, we are implementing a change to limit conditioning (heating, cooling and ventilation) on public holidays in most areas of the College.

By limiting conditioning, we are keeping sustainability at the forefront of our campus buildings and operations and significantly reducing energy used by the facilities.

The following areas are excluded and will be conditioned as normal:

• North Campus
  • LRC 3rd & 4th floors
  • Nx building first floor public safety offices
  • Residence buildings R, S & T
  • Gymnasium
• Lakeshore Campus
  • L building first floor learning commons
  • Gymnasium
  • Residence building R

Please note that the reduced conditioning will only apply to the specific date that the public holiday falls on. The College will continue to be conditioned as normal over the rest of the weekend.

For any special requests or events that require conditioning (outside the areas listed above), please submit a service request through the Facilities Management Archibus Work Order Request system (Go to http:www.humber.ca/facilities and click on “Place Service Request” to complete and submit a work order) or by calling Facilities Management at 416.675.6622 x4444. We ask that service requests be submitted a minimum of two business days in advance of the holiday.

If you would like to learn more about how we are implementing best practice in sustainable design, construction and the operation of new and renovated buildings, you can find information in our Sustainability Plan 2019-2024 and our Integrated Energy Master Plan.

To the Humber Community, 

The sponsors of the Flexible Registration Project (FRP) and Dean of Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) would like to introduce you to the Flexible Registration Project (FRP). This dynamic initiative has been in development for the past 12 months and will positively impact Flexible Learning and Continuous Professional Learning at Humber for our learners and staff.

Flexible Registration Project Background Information

The Flexible Registration Project (FRP) is a strategic initiative within the Accessible Education pillar of Humber’s 2018-2023 Strategic Plan. The FRP executive sponsors are Laurie Rancourt, Rani Dhaliwal, and Scott Briggs.

The FRP will transform the learning environment and empower learners by offering more choices in how, what, when and where they learn. The Project’s scope includes the implementation of Non-Post –Secondary (NPS) policies and procedures, while delivering a new registration system that supports NPS and Continuous Professional Learning at Humber.

Many Humber employees have contributed to this project, sharing their current registration system experience and ongoing feedback during each phase. User Acceptance Testing has been successfully completed with more than 80 Humber participants. These individuals have been instrumental in helping our team implement Destiny One, the new Non-Post-Secondary registration system.

Destiny One - Humber's New Non-Post-Secondary Registration System

Destiny One, a new Non-Post-Secondary (NPS) registration system, is launching in late August for Corporate Training Solutions, followed by onboarding Education Training Services (ETS) and Faculty Areas in late September. This new system is replacing the current Banner FlexReg module. Enabling ongoing engagement with learners throughout their non-postsecondary journey with Humber.

Destiny One’s main features and benefits include:

• A user-friendly program shopping experience
• Self-serve options that make course/program searching and registration easy
• Enhanced built-in payment processing
• Simplified process for applying staff discounts for those who qualify

Corporate clients can access their own “branded” portal where they can view their course/program offerings, register their employees and pay invoices.

Staff will benefit from flexible registration business processes that allow for:

• Course/program promotion and flexible pricing options
• Additional enrollment management support
• Efficient CPL operations and cross-college collaboration

Destiny One Launch Timeline and Additional Information and Resources

Destiny One will go live in late August, beginning with Corporate Training Solutions on August 30 and Faculties and Education Training Solutions on September 23.

More information and how-to guides about FRP and Destiny One will be provided over the next several weeks.

For questions about how the FRP will change non-post-secondary learning in your department or Faculty, please contact your Associate Dean of CPL or unit Director.

Any urgent project questions can be sent to Jasmine Sanaee, project director, at jasmine.sanaee@humber.ca.  

Sincerely,
