Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations, including Humber Polytechnic, are required to use existing Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangements whenever possible and appropriate to ensure compliance with the BPS Directives and Provincial Government initiatives. Updated links to the OECM, Supply Ontario, Government of Canada and Humber VOR lists are available on the finance website at www.humber.ca/finance.
We ask the Humber community to consult these VOR lists before initiating any new procurement requests. Utilizing an established VOR to procure new goods or services helps lower costs and streamline the procurement process. The chosen VOR can be noted on the Humber Invitational Procurement Evaluation Form when submitting the evaluation for approval.
If you need further assistance or are unable to find what you’re looking for, please reach out to Purchasing at sourcing@humber.ca or complete the Procurement Intake eForm.

Please be advised that all courses for Fall 2023 and prior terms, including DEVU and SBXU courses, will be removed from Blackboard on Friday, March 7 at 4 p.m.
Why are courses being removed?
Humber removes courses one year after final grades are submitted or courses are created (for DEVU and SBXU courses). For the current Winter 2025 semester, courses from the Fall 2023 semester will be removed. Courses from this Winter 2025 semester will be removed in Summer 2026. Please be aware that PMR and ADR courses are deleted after three years. This is standard practice to ensure we maintain enough space and capacity on the Learning Management System, so these clean-ups are scheduled following good practices for data and storage management.
How do I back up and save my course for future use?
We recommend faculty back up and archive Blackboard courses at the end of each semester. Most course sites take no more than 10 minutes to archive, and OneDrive is readily available to all faculty for file storage.
What if I need help backing up my course?
Support for OneDrive is available from ITS, and support for learning how to back up and archive courses is available from the Innovative Learning Support Centre.
