About the Registry (Article 26.10 D & E)
The Partial-Load Registry enables current or previously employed partial-load employees of Humber Polytechnic to register their interest in being employed as a partial-load faculty for specified academic terms. Registered partial-load employees will be eligible for priority hiring for available partial-load work based on the criteria set out in Article 26.10 E of the Academic Employees Collective Agreement.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The registration deadline is April 30 of each year for the following Academic Year (September - August).
When Do I Register?
- Registration opens on Monday, December 2, 2024
- The deadline to register is April 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.
Note: Registering in previous years does not automatically register you for the upcoming year, therefore registration is required on a yearly basis.
Where Do I Register?
- Please register using this link: https://humber.ca/peoples-and- culture/partialloadregistry
- This link can be found on the front page of the People(s) and Culture webpage.
What do I need to Register?
- Your Humber employee number AND your N number.
- Your Humber employee number can be found on your pay stub, or you can ask your manager.
- Your N number is used to log into Humber’s systems. If you do not know your N number, please contact the I. T. Support Centre.
Submission Confirmation
- When you submit your interest, you will be placed onto the registry.
- Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation. Please retain this confirmation for your records.
- If a confirmation email is not received in either your inbox or junk mail folder, please contact the HR Support Centre without delay.
- Only those who meet the criteria as outlined in Article 26.10 E of the Academic Employees Collective Agreement, will be given priority in hiring.
Please note: The hours you indicate that you are prepared to teach will not guarantee a corresponding work assignment. Humber will review as per the terms of the Collective Agreement and operational requirements.
Questions?
For more information, please review the Employee Partial-Load FAQs webpage.
Should you have any questions about the Partial-Load Registry procedures, or eligibility, please speak with your Associate Dean, or your Union (info@opseu562.org).

Humber Polytechnic and the Humber Faculty Union highly encourage all partial-load faculty to complete the process for the Partial-Load Registry.
We look forward to having you register your interest for future partial-load employment. Thank you for all your contributions to Humber Polytechnic.
Sincerely,
| Marie-Josee Smith Director, Client Services Employee & Labour Relations |
Miloš Vasić President, Humber Faculty Union (OPSEU 562) |
