About the Registry (Article 26.10 D & E)

The Partial-Load Registry enables current or previously employed partial-load employees of Humber College to register their interest in being employed as a partial-load faculty for specified academic terms. Registered partial-load employees will be eligible for priority hiring for available partial-load work based on the criteria set out in Article 26.10 E of the Academic Employees Collective Agreement. As a result of the most recent changes introduced in the current Academic Collective Agreement (Article 26.10 E), you will be asked to indicate the maximum Teaching Contact Hours you are prepared to teach for the academic year. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The registration deadline is April 30 of each year for the following Academic Year (September - August)

When Do I Register?

• Registration opens on Friday, December 1, 2023
• The deadline to register is April 30, 2024, at 11:59 p.m.

Note: Registering in previous years does not automatically register you for the upcoming year, therefore registration is required on a yearly basis.

Where Do I Register?

• Please register using this link: https://humber.ca/peoples-and-culture/partialloadregistry
• This link can be found on the front page of the People(s) and Culture webpage. 

What do I need to Register?

• Your Humber employee number AND your N number.
• Your Humber employee number can be found on your pay stub, or you can ask your manager.
• Your N number is used to log into the system. If you do not know your N number, please contact I.T. Support Centre.

Submission Confirmation

• When you submit your interest, you will be placed onto the registry.
• Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation. Please retain this confirmation for your records.
• If a confirmation email is not received in either your inbox or junk mail folder, please contact the HR Support Centre without delay. 
• Only those who meet the criteria as outlined in Article 26.10 E. of the Academic Employees Collective Agreement, will get priority in hiring.

Please note: The hours you indicate that you are prepared to teach will not guarantee a corresponding work assignment. The College will review as per the terms of the Collective Agreement and operational requirements.

Questions?

For more information, please review the Employee Partial-Load FAQs webpage.

Should you have any questions about the Partial-Load Registry procedures, or eligibility, please speak with your Associate Dean, or your union (info@opseu562.org).

In the event you experience any problems as you register, please contact the HR Support Centre (416.675.5001 or visit humber.ca/hrchat), so that Sara Abada, Labour Relations Coordinator can promptly review.

The College and Union highly encourage all Partial-Load Faculty to complete the process for the Partial-Load Registry.

We look forward to having you register your interest for future partial-load employment. Thank you for all your contributions to Humber College.

Sincerely,

November 27 was a night to remember for the Humber community as colleges across Ontario gathered for the 2023 Premier's Awards.

Out of 117 nominees in seven categories, two Humber alumni were announced winners - Carrie Baker (Business) and Michael Sanderson (Health Sciences).

Carrie is a Public Relations graduate and the President of Canada Goose, overseeing the company's commercial business and brand and driving its global growth. She played a pivotal role in establishing Canada Goose’s communications strategy, helping to lead its IPO in 2017 and creating its industry-leading Sustainable Impact Strategy. In 2019, Carrie was named WXN Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada and one of Canada’s 50 Best Executives by The Globe and Mail in 2020.

Michael Sanderson is a graduate of Humber’s Ambulance and Emergency Care program and the Chief and Director of Hamilton Paramedic Service, overseeing 440 staff and ensuring a high level of clinical, operational, and financial performance. Over a 50-year career in Emergency Medical Services, Michael has been a paramedic, educator, and leader at local, provincial, national, and international levels. While Executive Director at BC Ambulance, he led all EMS activities for the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and he currently serves as president of the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs (OAPC).

Humber's nominees in other categories included Kenneth Fowler (Apprenticeship), Deepa Mattoo (Community Services), Matthew Burnett (Creative Arts and Design), Anna Simone (Technology), and Lisa Post (Recent Graduate).  

We are proud of all of our nominees who stand as leaders and difference-makers in their respective industries and continue to make a significant impact in their communities.

Humber has now had a winner at the Premier's Awards for seven consecutive years and 12 winners since 2011.
