Midterms in Testing Services
Traffic is picking up in Testing Services and we anticipate high volume over the next few weeks: February 27 through March 10. We encourage faculty members to communicate with students writing in Testing Services to let them know expectations around write dates and check in times. We do anticipate short wait times for students writing in the Test Centre based on our traffic trends.
*New* Test Referral Form:
Testing Services has redesigned our referral forms to accompany tests. The feedback from our faculty partners has been helpful, and the redesign has been done to ensure faculty members are able to provide Testing Services with all relevant details for students testing with us. Should you have previous versions of the referral forms saved, please replace with the new version which can be found here: humber.ca/student-life/testing-services/services-faculty/test-referral-form
Please note that this referral form needs to accompany all hardcopy/paper tests submitted to Testing Services.
Online Test Submission for Faculty:
Testing Services is also pleased to offer an online submission tool for faculty members to submit tests and exams to the Test Centre that can be completed on a computer. This tool can be used for all students, including those students who require an electronic copy of their test as part of their testing accommodations. So far over 600 faculty members have signed up for and used this service! This saves travel time to the Test Centre and tests are sent back to faculty members electronically as soon as a student has completed their test.
For more information or to sign up for the online test submission tool, please visit Testing Services online at humber.ca/student-life/testing-services/services-faculty/electronic-test-submission
All online submissions should be submitted by 7 a.m. on write date, so we are ready for the day ahead.
If you have any questions, please feel free to come visit us!
According to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), Humber College is required to train all members of the organization on accessibility standards.
There are three AODA mandatory online training programs administered by the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity. All Humber employees are required to complete these three (3) trainings:
1. Customer Service Standards Training
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) underwent recent changes as of July 1, 2016. As a result, Humber was required to update its training on the Customer Service Standards. All Humber employees must complete the revised AODA Customer Service Standards Online Training.
The online training module can be accessed here.
2. Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators (AATE)
The Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators requires Humber College to provide educators with accessibility awareness training. All Humber employees are required to complete the online Accessibility Awareness Training for Educators.
Please note: All employees within an educational institution are defined as educators.
The online training module can be accessed here.
3. Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation/Ontario Human Rights Code Training (IASR/OHRC)
The IASR/OHRC training covers the established accessibility standards in information and communications, employment, transportation and the built environment. All Humber employees must complete the IASR/OHRC Training.
The online training module can be accessed here.
Thank you for ensuring Humber’s compliance with the AODA.
Do you know how you can make the gender question on an application form more inclusive? The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity has put together some information and helpful tips to assist you in successfully completing this task. Please click on the following link for further details.
