- A clear mask will be given to faculty who are teaching, allowing students to see your face. Reminder: all employees/students returning to campus will be given 2 reusable masks. Teaching faculty, then, will be given 1 reusable cloth mask, and and 1 clear mask. The College has been told that the clear masks offers the same protection as the cloth mask. Masks will be distributed to you by your manager.
- Health & Safety Training (mandatory) will take place the week of August 31. The training will be available on BlackBoard and can be completed anytime during that week. It is estimated that the training will take 45 minutes. Contract faculty will be paid 1 hour (at the meeting rate) to complete the training.
- Orientation videos are being made for both staff and students. The videos are different and cater to the specific audience. These videos are expected to be available the week of August 24th.
- The College is looking to reopen the Daycare Centre in October. More details to come.
- The Screening Survey is available on the Humber Guardian App (reminder: the screening survey must be completed each time you come onto campus). Beginning in the Fall term, staff and students will be required to scan their QR code before entering Humber buildings, demonstrating that they have passed the screening. Individuals who do not have a phone or who do not wish to install the app may complete the screening survey verbally at the entrance. Only individuals who have passed the screening may enter Humber buildings.
Update by Barbara Riach, Associate Vice-President, Enrolment Management & Registrar
There has been a small number of staff on campus at the Registrar’s Office since March, completing a variety of tasks that can only be handled in-person. In the fall, the Registration Desks at the LRC and Lakeshore will be staffed with personnel equipped with PPE including a plexiglass barrier.
Update by Ian Crookshank, Dean of Students
Student Services will be provide remotely as much as possible. Some employees (such as doctors and accessibility consultants) will be on-site at the Student Wellness and Accessibility Offices (both campuses), but will likely have reduced hours. Visits are by appointment only, and students must complete a 2nd COVID screening survey before the appointment.
The College plans to open the Fitness Centre in stages, with very limited access by students and staff. Facilities Dept is currently reconfiguring the area and working out the logistics to ensure physical distancing can be maintained.
