Announcements
Humber College’s North Campus opened 16 new Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in the Commuter Hub (the parking garage beside Guelph-Humber)!
All the EV chargers on campus are Level 2 charging stations – they provide up to an 80% charge after 4 hours. As a result, we ask that EV drivers move their vehicle within four hours of charging to a paid spot (either permit or paid visitor parking) so that another driver can charge their vehicle's battery. Charging stations at North Campus will be complimentary until the end of February 2019 to allow EV drivers to try the charging stations. Starting March 1, 2019, the first 4 hours of charging will be free and drivers will be billed $5.00/ hour (prorated to the minute) for any additional charging. More information here.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Devon Fernandes: devon.fernandes@humber.ca , 4166756622x4651

To all members of the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) community,
As we experience colder temperatures and snow in the coming weeks, we would like to remind the Humber community about travelling to campus during the winter and college operations during the season.
During the winter semester, we are planning to be open each day and to operate as normal. As we expect to have snow and inclement weather during the season, our facilities and campus operations teams are prepared to take actions such as clearing snow and melting ice.
On days with inclement weather, whether you drive to campus or take public transit, please give yourself extra time for your commute and travel according to road conditions.
For students, if you think the roadways near your home or the college are unsafe due to severe ice or snow, please call or email your professor or program coordinator if you decide not to come to class. For employees who think it is unsafe to travel to the college because of severe ice or snow, please call or email your supervisor.
In the event that a college/campus closure is required due to severe weather, an announcement will be posted on humber.ca, our main Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels, and Humber Alert by 6 a.m. for morning classes, and 3:30 p.m. for evening classes, or as soon as possible. We will also inform GTA media of a college closure. You can sign up to receive notification of Humber campus activity, including closures here.
If a closure occurs, students scheduled to be at external organizations for an internship or placement, or for other college related activities, will follow the protocol of the external organization with respect to cancellation of college activities or closure of the facility. It is the student’s responsibility to advise their external placement advisor or supervisor of any situation that prevents them from attending their placement or work.
For Orangeville Campus students and employees, please note that separate announcements will be sent to you, as the weather in Orangeville and Etobicoke is not always the same.
For more information, please see the weather closure FAQ and Humber’s Unscheduled Closure of Campus Buildings policy (and Severe Weather Procedure).
We wish you a safe and warm winter season.
Sun Life reviews the utilization of group insurance benefits at regular intervals. From time to time premium rates for these benefits are adjusted either up or down to reflect the level of usage, cost to provide these benefits, anticipated cost to maintain the benefits in the future and the cost of inflation.
Effective February 1, 2019 the premiums payable to Sun Life by Humber College as well as the premiums deducted from your pay will be adjusted as outlined in the table below. The Joint Insurance Committee (JIC) of OPSEU, OCASA and College Compensation and Appointments Council have reviewed and approved these premium rate changes. The current employee/employer cost sharing arrangements will continue as shown below.
Employees may see an increase or decrease in the employee portion of the benefit premiums depending on the type of benefits they have elected.
As plan members there are opportunities to help keep future premiums increases under control and contribute to the long-term viability of the plan through different measures.
