After completing an environmental scan and undertaking stakeholder consultations in late 2017, Humber entered Phase 3 of its strategic planning process: Building Humber’s Plan.

Over the last few months, key members of the Humber community have been developing Humber’s strategic priorities, goals and related indicators based on the consultations. Still in draft form with more changes to come, it is time to share the draft priorities:

Strategic Priority 1: Humber creates a differentiated PSE experience

  1. As the polytechnic of choice, Humber will increasingly be recognized as a leader in Canada and around the world and will contribute to the transformation of postsecondary education
  2. Humber will be differentiated by its high quality programs
  3. Students will benefit from unequaled work integrated learning experiences
  4. Humber will create the conditions for student success by enhancing health and well-being

Strategic Priority 2:  Industry and community turn to Humber for innovation

  1. Industry and community partners will have strong reciprocal relationships with Humber
  2. Humber will build on its culture of research and innovation integrating applied research into our academic programs

Strategic Priority 3: Working and studying at Humber means you join a community

  1. In an increasingly globalized world, we will have a framework which integrates the concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion into everything that we do

Strategic Priority 4: Humber’s strong foundations contribute to a sustainable future

  1. Humber will engage in continuous improvement and sustainability
  2. Humber maintains financial stability to ensure long-term viability 

To see the reports from the 2017 consultation sessions that resulted in these priorities, please visit the Strategic Planning website.

BMO Details Online (DOL) only allowed for a single approver, which in most cases was the card holders direct report. In Chrome River, multiple approvers are notified when an expense report is submitted for approval. Chrome River is leveraging Banner approval queues, thus approvers are based on the ORG(s) expensed and NOT the card holder’s direct report. Similar to the Banner requisition approval process, only one of the notified approvers must approve the expense report in Chrome River. Once approved the report is automatically removed from the other approvers’ queue.

Since we are leveraging Banner requisition approval queues, deleting an approver from an ORG queue for Chrome River purposes will also remove the approver’s ability to approve Banner requisitions. Therefore, if you receive notification to approve an expense report for a card holder that is outside of your PCard responsibility, then disregard that expense report.

Unlike Banner, in Chrome River if you are an approver your expense report is routed to your direct report.

This diagram illustrates the approval routing process in DOL and Chrome River based on your role.

Faculty are able to access most student accommodation letters online using the Faculty Web Portal.* 

  • Faculty can view accommodation letters in two ways, by course or by student name.
  • Faculty can access student accommodation letters online from any place, at any time through the portal.
  • Faculty are notified as new students connect with ALS throughout the semester.
  • The portal displays the most recent version of the accommodation letter.

*Please note that students continue to have the option of self-managing the distribution of their accommodation letters. For this relatively small portion of students, faculty will continue to receive accommodation letters directly from students either electronically or in hardcopy. We ask that faculty continue to store these letters securely.

When an accommodation letter has been generated and is available in the portal for review, faculty will receive an email with a link to the portal. The portal safely contains and displays the necessary accommodation information. Detailed instructions about how to use the faculty web portal are available online through ALS’ website humber.ca/student-life/swac/accessible-learning-services/faculty-resources/faculty-web-portal-student-accommodation-letters.

Please contact ALS at accessible-learning@humber.ca if you have further questions.
