LRC North East Entrance Temporarily Closed – North Campus
View in full page
When:
January 16, 2019

We have temporarily closed the LRC north east entrance (leading to the bus loop).

This closure is due to the extreme cold coming through the steadily opened doors caused by high pedestrian traffic volume, allowing the wind to push frigid air right into the centre of the first floor of the LRC.

We are asking students, staff and guests to please use the front LRC entrance for entering and exiting the building.

Facilities is assessing alternative long-term options to solve this problem.

Thank you,

Humber Facilities

Happy New Year and Faculty Structure Update
View in full page
When:
January 14, 2019

As we begin the Winter Semester, I want to thank everyone in Humber’s academic division for all of your hard work and commitment to our students. We can all take great pride in the work we do.

I’d like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on our transition to our new Faculty structure. As announced, we are creating six new faculties to align with the program areas of expansion outlined in our Strategic Mandate Agreement with the provincial government and to ensure breadth and flexible learning are embedded in our students’ experience at Humber. This change will lead to increased synergies across our programs, and greater opportunity for students, faculty and staff to collaborate with our industry and community partners through our Centres of Innovation and the Centre for Entrepreneurship.

The Academic HR planning committee, of which all Senior Deans are a part, has continued to meet regularly and has finalized a number of transitional details since the initial September 27 announcement. Should you have specific questions as we move toward the new Faculty structure, please feel free to speak with your Associate Dean or your HR Business Partner.

With the new Faculty structure officially coming into effect on May 1, 2019 and in preparation for the start of the 2019-2020 academic year, we’ll be continuing our transitional planning over the next few months. We look forward to receiving your input along the way. If you have ideas or suggestions that you wish to present, please email them to the Senior Dean or Associate Dean responsible for the area. I will do my best to provide you with regular updates and to help answer any questions you may have.

For your reference, here is a list of our full-time programs and their location within the new Faculties.

Thank you for joining us on this journey and for your contributions to supporting our students’ success. I wish you all the best in the coming semester.

The Transfer Options site has been refreshed to bring more focus to the benefits, processes and resources available to Transfer Students. The goal of these changes is to create a clearer and better user experience for Transfer Students referring to the site for information and guidance.

Visit the new Transfer Options website.

Transfer Student Videos
In order to create an even more welcoming and inviting user experience, we’ve added several transfer student testimonial videos. In these videos, students describe why they wanted to transfer to Humber, what the transfer experience was like, and offer up advice to prospective Transfer Students, giving viewers a first-hand perspective.

Scroll down on the Transfer Options landing page to view these videos.

New Humber Course Outline Search
The Course Outline Search Tool is a new and very helpful site feature. This tool will allow the user to find a course outline by entering a course name or code. The tool works by accessing the course outline database through HQ and supplying the user with either a downloadable PDF or viewable and printable outline. For outlines that have yet to be uploaded to the database, users will be directed to contact the academic school.

View the Humber Course Outline Search Tool.

Academic Regulations Excerpt
Along with Transfer In, Transfer Within and Transfer Out information, the site also features an easy-to-access excerpt from Humber’s Academic Regulations, Section 6.0 which pertains to Transfer, PLAR and Pathways.
