For Fall 2020 and going forward, students enrolled in a Humber diploma or certificate program are no longer required to complete the Computerized College Placement Test (CCPT) to determine their first semester English and/or Math course. Students can log into MyHumber > Student > Academic Progress to view which course to register into.

The Humber Testing Services Online Admissions Testing page and the Admissions Roadmap (Step 7) have been updated to reflect this change.

Further details about English Placement for Fall 2020 can be found here and English and Math Course Requirement information for Faculty and Staff reference is available here.

One in four incoming students leave Humber within the first year of their program. To prevent attrition, it is critical that we understand the factors that place students at risk and implement timely interventions to support retention. To this end, each year, the College administers the Humber Student Success Survey (HSSS) to all students in full-time programs. 

Through analyses of these data, Humber has learned that higher levels of attrition are statistically associated with a number of social, demographic, attitudinal and behavioral factors. For example, students at greater risk of attrition include those who are unsure if they are in the right program or if they will be able to complete their program, and those who spend little time on assignments or normally do not attend classes. Risk of attrition is also related to sources of financial support (e.g., a reliance on bursaries), and whether students identify as a specific ethnicity, as a person with a disability or as first generation. A student with several of these characteristics or factors is at a higher risk.

Check out the analysis in this new one page brief. For more information, please contact Silvana Miller.

This publication is the latest in IPA’s Insights series which supports institutional data literacy and the establishment of a common understanding about important institutional issues and topics related to Humber’s strategic priorities.

Pathways to Human Rights Education & Action: Integrating Head and Heart

Human Rights Training Sessions for 2020/2021

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity (the Centre) engaged the Humber College community in a participatory and consultative process to obtain feedback on Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures in 2018. As a result, Humber launched the revised Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures in December 2018.

The Ontario Human Rights Commission requires that all employers provide ongoing education and training on the organization’s human rights policy. All Humber employees (full-time, non-full-time, work-study) are required to update their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures.

We understand that non-full-time faculty may experience scheduling challenges to attend a weekday human rights training session and for this reason, the Centre is also offering training sessions on Saturday mornings for non-full-time faculty.

Please note: All Humber employees who have attended a Humber Human Rights Training session prior to August 2018 are required to refresh their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures.

Participants at the training workshop will:

1. Increase their understanding of key Human Rights terms and concepts in order to more effectively prevent, recognize and respond to human rights related concerns;
2. Receive resources that will assist in enhancing inclusion at Humber; and
3. Receive Humber’s Human Rights Policy.

To facilitate your attendance, Human Rights Training sessions will be offered throughout the 2020/2021 academic year through an online registration process available at: hrs.humber.ca/register.

For registration assistance, please contact Zareena Khan at zareena.khan@humber.ca.
