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.

View excerpt 6.0 here.

Humber Pathways Fair
Don’t forget that the Humber Pathways Fair is January 23 at North Campus and January 24 at Lakeshore Campus. Students are invited to come out and explore their future study options. Humber has partnerships with over 30 postsecondary institutions across Canada and abroad with more than 50 pathways from our diplomas and degrees.

Find out more about the Pathways Fair.

Transfer and PLAR Application Forms Readily Accessible
Transfer and PLAR application forms are now readily accessible through the Transfer In drop-down menu as well as connected through links throughout the site where applicable.

If you have any questions, please contact Judy Tavares, Manager Student Transfer Services, at x4746.

With more than 56,000 students across all campuses, Humber College goes through a large amount of writing instruments. Instead of throwing your pens, pencils and markers away, you can recycle them on campus! 

Help us divert waste from landfill sites by collecting used writing instruments. 

Here's how it works: 

  • Don't throw away your pens, mechanical pencils, markers or highlighters once they have reached the end of their usable life 
  • Place them into the collection bins located on your campus
  • Spread the word and encourage your colleagues and students to do the same!

What type of writing instruments can be recycled? Most types! 

  • All pen, mechanical pencil and marker brands 
  • Any ink colour 
  • Markers including dry erase and permanent 
  • If you write with it, it can be collected for recycling! 

Collection stations: 

  • North Campus - just outside of Ignite, KX202 
  • Lakeshore Campus - next to the elevator, L Commons (2nd floor) 

Each department is encouraged to create their own recycling bin/or box. The Office of Sustainability will be collecting from the above locations monthly. 

You can drop-off your own box to DX101 (North) or contact Tayler Buchanan at tayler.buchanan@humber.ca for alternative arrangements.

A reminder that applications for the next Teaching Innovation Fund are due on Friday, January 18 by 5pm. 

About the fund: The fund includes $1,400 per investigator and support in developing and conducting a research project about teaching and learning. There are typically two types of projects: “Build” projects, in which you develop and build a new, evidence-based teaching tool or approach, and “Impact” projects, in which you measure the impact of an innovative teaching tool or approach with your students. 

For more information and to access the application form, see the attached documents. To hear from faculty that have previously conducted research with the fund, visit the CTL's YouTube channel.

Applications may be submitted to CTLResearch@humber.ca

On Humber NEXTcast's first episode of the new year, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with professors Dennis Kappen and George Paravantes about a groundbreaking augmented reality project they worked on with a team of students and brought to a major international tech conference.

"This is an example: collaborative research can work. There are individuals available who can come together with a common objective or a goal, and I believe that is a big take-away at Humber. Humber has the environment, and we have amazing people here." - Dennis Kappen

Listen to the episode here.

NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.

To suggest a future guest or topic, email Humber Press at humberpress@humber.ca.

Year-end is March 31. Have you ordered all the technical services assets (computers, laptops, etc.) you planned to purchase this fiscal? If not, there is still time. Please contact our Request Fulfillment Coordinator without delay. 

Important: This fiscal’s deadline to issue a purchase order for technical service assets is January 31. Note that purchase orders issued late (after the January 31 deadline) likely will not arrive before year-end (March 31) and will therefore need to be paid out of next year’s (2019/2020) budget.

Questions? Concerns? Please contact Tanya Goncalves, Manager of Technology Support, at x4569 before the January 31 deadline.
