As a part of Humber ITS’ ongoing multi-factor authentication project, MFA coverage for students will be expanding in the fall to include a wider range of applications.
As of Monday, November 6, all applications that require username@humber.ca login credentials will benefit from the added layer of security by requiring MFA at sign-in. MFA will only be prompted for students when they log in with their Humber login credentials off-campus, roughly every seven days.
In addition to the expanded MFA coverage for students, as of Thursday, November 30, 2023, you will no longer be able to skip the prompt to install the Microsoft Authenticator app. Microsoft is enhancing the MFA experience for all users. If you typically use SMS or voice methods for authentication, you will soon be required to use the Authenticator app as your primary method when logging into your M365 account. This change is designed to provide a more secure form of MFA compared to SMS and voice methods.
For new users, download the Authenticator app from the Google Play Store or from the Apple App Store today.

Humber's Advising & Career Services is back with more services and support to highlight this week. In the spotlight this time are our Career Step Workshops, which have been instrumental in empowering students and recent graduates on their career journeys.
What are Career Step Workshops?
Our Career Step Workshops are dynamic, one-hour sessions open to all students in any program, almost every week. They are designed to equip students with essential skills and knowledge for their career journey. All workshops are Co-Curricular Record (CCR) certified, providing a valuable recognition of students commitment. Last year, we hosted over 50 workshops, with over 400 students benefiting from these enlightening sessions. And the success continues this semester! We've already hosted over 20 workshops this semester with more exciting sessions to come.
Topics covered in Career Step Workshops:
To further enhance our community's understanding of our services, we have attached an essential resource:
Career Support Guide for Students: Faculty and staff can share this guide with their students, allowing them to access our wide range of services and resources.
We invite you to explore these supports and discover the various ways Advising & Career Services can benefit both students, faculty and staff. We look forward to continuing this journey of empowerment, education, and success in the semesters to come.

Do you consider yourself a strong ally of the 2SLGBTQ+ community here at Humber? Humber's 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group would like to connect with you!
The 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) is inviting strong allies to join our mailing list. The ERG helps advance a culture at Humber that is accepting and inclusive for all 2SLGBTQ+ staff, faculty and students through outreach, community development, events, and consultation. In our mailing list, we'll invite you to 2SLGBTQ+ themed talks, panels and activities that everyone can attend.
Allyship is about showing up when the 2SLGBTQ+ community needs your support. By coming to the events that the ERG is holding, you are showing that you support the work that your 2SLGBTQ+ colleagues do. We often hear that some staff or faculty would have attended a particular event if they had known about it. By being on our mailing list, you'll ensure that you'll never miss out on any of our upcoming events. As well, we'll keep you updated on commemorations and news that are affecting your 2SLGBTQ+ Humber colleagues.
If at any time you would no longer like to receive our emails, you can be removed from the mailing list. We understand - we all get a lot of emails!
Any Humber employees who consider themselves a strong 2SLGBTQ+ ally and are interested in joining this mailing list can indicate their interest by sending an email to co-chair Matthew Harris at matthew.harris@humber.ca.
