All tests and exams which are submitted to the Test Centre must be accompanied by a completed referral form.

This referral form provides us with crucial information about the test or exam to ensure that we are following the rules and guidelines of the test/exam as set out by the faculty member. These rules and regulations of the test/exam include:

• The length of time the student is permitted to write the test/exam
• The final date the student has to write the test/exam
• Authorized materials which the student can use to write their test (calculators, open notes, exam booklet, etc.).

The lower half of the sheet allows instructors to fill out the testing accommodations which are relevant to the student, if they are registered with Disability Services and have a Memo to Faculty.

For your convenience, the Test Centre Referral Form can be found on our website at www.humber.ca/test-centre/faculty-guidelines-missed-test or hardcopies of the Referral Form are available in our Testing Centres or Divisional Offices. Gold Forms are for Humber exams, and green forms are for GH exams.

We appreciate all tests/exams being submitted to the Testing Centre at least 2 business days prior to the student test date. Please ensure all tests/exams you are submitting to the Test Centre have a completed Referral Form attached.

Should you have any questions regarding completing one of these forms, please contact us for more information.

Reminder: Developing Individual Workplace Emergency Response Plans

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005)

In compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005), Humber College continues to promote a barrier-free learning, working and living environment. Under the AODA (2005), Humber College is required to provide individualized workplace emergency response plans for employees who have a disability. The purpose of this information is to outline how an employee with a disability, if they require it, will be provided with assistance in the event of an emergency. An emergency can range from an acute event that requires medical attention to an event such as a fire where special evacuation procedures may be necessary.

How to Develop an Individual Workplace Emergency Response Plan

Managers are responsible for working with employees and work-study students with disabilities to develop an individualized workplace emergency response plan. Humber has developed a Workplace Emergency Response Information template to assist managers, employees and work-study students to create this plan.

What do Managers need to do?

1. If you are aware that an employee with a disability will require assistance in the event of an emergency, contact the AODA Coordinator by email at stephanie.latty@humber.ca or by phone at 416.675.6622 ext. 5647 to access the Workplace Emergency Response Information Template.
2. In consultation with the employee, use the Workplace Emergency Response Information template to determine the employee’s needs in the event of an emergency, and assist in the development of the employee’s workplace emergency information plan. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the template, contact the AODA Coordinator.
3. Once the employee’s emergency information has been developed, a signed copy of this information must be provided to the employee, the Manager and HR Services for the employee’s personnel file.

Thank you for increasing accessibility at Humber

If you have questions about the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005) or the Individualized Workplace Emergency Response Information template, please contact Stephanie Latty, AODA Coordinator at stephanie.latty@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 ext. 5647.
