When:

Welcome to the Virgin Pulse Global Challenge 2019!

Every great team starts with a little competition and a lot of fun. This year, Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are pleased to offer you another exciting and adventurous way to be healthy while becoming an even greater, stronger team. 

First, you will need to commit to a team of seven colleagues, and then nominate a team captain.

You will then wear your Virgin Max Buzz each day to track your activity. Whether you chose to step it up by walking, biking or ballroom dancing, work with your team and motivate each other to get moving more each day!  

On September 4, 2019, you and your team will start the 100-day virtual journey around the world. The more active you are, the further you will progress and the more virtual locations your team will unlock. Whether it is the virtual trophies, leaderboards or your motivational colleagues, you will find your own source of inspiration to achieve milestones along the way. 

To start your adventure, take the first step now and sign up your team of seven today!

Space is limited, so act fast!

You will find all the information you need on this link below to learn what the Global Challenge is, how it works, and why choosing to get involved will be the best decision you will make all year.

Summer 2019 Finals – Accommodated Testing Only
View in full page
When:
August 9, 2019

With finals exams fast approaching, Testing Services would like to remind everyone that we are anticipating higher than normal demand for our services. For this reason, as we did in the fall and winter semesters, we will be made available exclusively for accommodated testing only. In order to ensure things run smoothly for our students next week, please make note of the following:

  • In order to help Testing Services manage traffic, faculty and staff are asked to drop by Testing Services after 11:30 a.m. each day to pick up completed tests and exams.
  • All final exam submissions for accommodated students should be submitted at least 48 hours before the anticipated write date and referral forms should be completed ensuring critical details such as permitted materials and accommodation details are clearly outlined to help reduce student wait times. As well, please ensure testing details are clearly explained to students prior to their arrival to Testing Services.
  • Faculty should be accessible for their students who write in the test centre and staff by providing contact information or appointing a designate that can be reached in the event of any questions.
  • Faculty areas have created conflict testing areas for students who do not have accommodations. Please consult with your faculty area for details regarding conflict testing spaces.

Thank you in advance for your continued support in helping improve the test taking experience for our students. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Coordinator, Accommodated Testing, Shane Bentham, at x5892.
