Accessible Learning Services Best Practice Considerations - Multiple Professors for the Same Course

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

  • Accessible Learning Services recognizes that there may be multiple professors assigned to teach the same course section 

  • For Humber specifically, if the new faculty member taking over is assigned as an instructor of the course on MyHumber/Banner, then they may already notice student Accommodation Letters on the ALS Faculty Web Portal. 

  • If faculty are teaching the first half of a course only, we recommend that the incoming faculty be alerted to any students in the course who have an Accommodation Letter.  

  • Remember, although most student Accommodation Letters are available on the Faculty Web Portal, some students prefer to share their letters directly with faculty independently and these will not be reflected on the portal.  

  • We encourage faculty taking over the course to reach out to students with Accommodation Letters and confirm the letter has been reviewed. 

  • Questions about accessing the faculty web portal, can be addressed to accessible-learning@humber.ca.
