View in full page
When:
October 27, 2017

What is Chrome River?

Effective December 2017, Humber will switch over to Chrome River for processing Purchase Card (P-card) transactions with Travel & Expense functionality to follow in 2018. Chrome River’s expense module is a fast, fluid, mobile web solution that is user-friendly and will be fully integrated with Humber’s Banner Finance.

Why now?

The current BMO Details Online P-card system will cease to exist on December 31, 2017 thus Humber decided to implement a comprehensive Travel and Expense solution which offers the latest functionality in travel and expense management.

When and how will Chrome River be deployed?

The entire set of functionalities will be released over two phases:

  • Purchase Card (P-card) – by November 21, 2017 (Phase 1)
  • Travel & Expense – by Spring 2018 (Phase 2)

When will training be offered?

For Phase 1: P-card, Financial Services and Planning will offer two types of training sessions: 

1. Demo Sessions: to showcase the new system and features

Target Audience: All P-card holders and Administrative Assistants (who have and/or support P-card holders)

Duration: 1 hour (multiple sessions each day) 

Registration: information will be emailed to all P-card holders and, were applicable, their Administrative Assistants

Date Campus

2. Train the Trainer Sessions: to train individuals that want to train and/or assist their peers

Target Audience: Business Managers; Administrative Assistants, P-card users that have an interest in helping others in their school/department

On behalf of the Mailroom, I would like to notify/inform that due to ongoing faculty strike we are unable to receive any deliveries coming into the College and ship out couriers and mail. We have been notified by drivers from various courier companies and Canada Post that they have been turned around by the picketers at the picket line. This will  affect the mailroom operations and cause delays in receiving, delivering, shipping any parcels/couriers and mail. We ask for your patience and hope for a quick resolution so the operations can return back to normal.

Thank you.
