COLLEGE COUNCIL ELECTIONS
Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the college? Give voice to your thoughts- join the college council.
ROLE OF COLLEGE COUNCIL
College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long- and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.
As of 2013, Humber’s Strategic priorities follow three themes:
The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives.
While it is recognized that the Board of Governors alone can make policy, the Council makes recommendations that may ultimately become policy. If the recommendations the Council makes are not accepted by the President of the College, he or she will be expected to explain his or her reasons. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

Please be advised that we have made revisions to the Travel and Other Expense Reimbursement form. Effective April 1, 2016, only the new version, which is fillable online and auto-calculates and totals, will be accepted for processing (i.e. claims received on the older version or hand-written will be returned to the employee for resubmission).
As a reminder, all claims have to be reviewed (for compliance and accuracy) and approved by the budget holder or their designate as per the College’s Expense and Reimbursement Policy and Procedure. Please ensure that all original and itemized receipts relating to travel and other expense reimbursement are attached to the claim form prior to submission. In the event the original receipt is not available, the Lost Receipt Affidavit form must be attached (i.e. claims with missing receipts will not be processed and returned back). Receipts denominated in foreign currency should be clearly indicated to avoid processing errors.
As an observation, most people tend to submit the reimbursement claim after each event, expense and/or trip taken. As one can appreciate there is considerable effort required in validating and processing these claims thus, from an efficiency point of view, we would like to request that frequency of claim submission be limited to once a month unless the total claim amount exceeds $100.
All Finance forms can be accessed on the Financial Services & Planning website under Forms & Procedures. It is highly recommended that forms be saved locally prior to usage. For further guidance, please reference saving Finance forms under the FAQ section.
We thank everyone for their cooperation and if anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact any Accounts Payable staff.
Thank you,
Financial Services & Planning
