The School of Liberal Arts & Sciences would like to bid a very fond farewell to the Continuing Education secretary, Ginny Campbell who has decided to take an early retirement as of June 30, 2014. Ginny began at Humber in 1974 as a clerk at the Lakeshore Campus, her hard work and dedication was recognized in 2008 when she was awarded the Support Staff Distinguished Service Award, she is one of Humber's longest serving Support Staff members.
Over the years, Ginny has established meaningful relationships with every instructor who has worked with her. She is a very special woman and will be greatly missed at Humber, especially in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but even more so in Continuing Education. We wish Ginny much happiness as she moves on to new and exciting opportunities in the next chapter of her life.
As of May 20, 2014, the SRS Service Menu is no longer visible to users and srs.humber.ca will now re-direct users to the new MyHumber landing page (www.humber.ca/myhumber).
MyHumber landing page offers students learning resources and quick reference guides on all functionality within the new self-service student information system, the page will also offer students the ability to login to MyHumber.
If you are the content owner of any Humber web pages, printed material or applications, please review all content for any reference to SRS. Although the re-direct from SRS to MyHumber will continue for a period of time, SRS will eventually be decommissioned in 2015 and all self-service functionality will be handled through MyHumber.
Effective immediately, all references to SRS can be changed to MyHumber.

As of May 20, 2014, a new tool, Banner Relationship Management (BRM), launched to assist with the timely and relevant communication to students. This tool replaces SRS mail and will help Humber strengthen relations throughout the student lifecycle with personalized communications. Students will now receive Humber messages to their personal email addresses.
During the week of May 20, students are receiving their first email message through the new tool. A message has been posted on the MyHumber landing page to encourage students to log in to MyHumber and verify their email addresses.
If an employee attempts to send SRS mail via LIS, it will send the message to the students personal email address instead. This means that an employee will not be able to monitor the handling of that message once it is sent. Employees can still use the E-mail and H-mail functionality in LIS.

The Banner Standard Workload Form (SWF) module successfully went live on April 7, 2014. SWFs for the fall 2014 semester have been created in this new Banner module.
The SWF form has a slightly different look from past SWF form printouts. Please be informed that most of the elements and fields of the SWF and the Academic Collective Agreement have been both maintained and respected. Furthermore, the SWF process has not changed. SWFs will continue to be developed in consultation with faculty and then distributed to faculty in hard copy. Faculty members will still sign their SWFs and return them to their Associate Deans.
The new SWF form has been shared with a variety of stakeholders which has resulted in suggested enhancements. Through this consultation, these suggestions have been made to help facilitate form development, which will result in enhancements to the SWF form post Fall 2014.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your Associate Dean.
