HELP is coming soon!
What is HELP?
- HELP is the Humber Engagement and Learning Profile survey for incoming first-semester students.
- HELP asks incoming first-semester students in certificate, diploma and degree programs to tell us about their preparation for college, their educational and career goals, early opinions about their program and Humber generally, and to identify particular student support services they may use.
When does it happen?
- The HELP survey is open to students during the third and fourth weeks of class (January 26 – February 8).
- The survey is administered online and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
How does a student access the HELP survey?
- Students will receive an invitation with a unique survey link through their personal email. The email subject line will read: “Humber HELP Survey Invitation – Win Prizes”.
- Participating students are entered into a draw for great prizes, including $500 towards tuition and a Customized Career Booster valued at $500 sponsored by the Humber Students Federation (HSF).
Why is HELP important?
- Students tell us how we can help them be successful at Humber, and receive individualized emails and timely information about Humber’s services based on areas of assistance they identified as beneficial!
- Humber Institutional Research creates reports based on student responses to key questions and distributes these to student service areas as well as academic faculty/staff; identifies those who are struggling or at-risk of leaving early.
- Aggregate data at the program, school and college levels will help us to develop institutional retention strategies that will help more students be successful in their program.
Where can you get HELP info?
- To ask questions or learn more about the survey or reports please contact Pat VanHorne, Manager Institutional Research at patricia.vanhorne@humber.ca or x4943
Improving student success is an institutional priority, and benefits all of us!

The International Student and Staff/Faculty/Admin Buddy program is designed to enhance the experience of international students at Humber College ITAL. We hope that this will be accomplished by creating an opportunity for faculty, staff, admin and seasoned international students to be part of a “Welcome Team” that will engage with new international students through informal, personalized and friendly social interactions.
WHY?
- To improve the social, psychological and academic performance of international students as they transition to life in Canada and at Humber College ITAL.
- To enhance the feeling of hospitality on campus for new international students.
- To enhance the intercultural experience and cross-cultural knowledge of staff and faculty. Participation in this program will allow faculty, staff and admin to enrich their intercultural perspectives and communication skills while gaining a greater understanding of the goals, motivations and difficulties experienced by international students
WHO CAN BE PART OF THE WELCOME TEAM?
The project will be open to all interested full and part-time faculty, staff and admin at Humber College ITAL. (Participation in the program is entirely voluntary.)
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
- Attend the Meet & Greet session.
- Attend at least two (2) Buddy Program organized events during each term (e.g. Initial Meet & Greet, International Cafe, Pot Luck Dinner etc.).
- Meet with your buddy at least two (2) times outside of any Buddy Program organized event during each term.
